Solubility and Intro to Gas laws

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent, forming a solution.

Front

What factors affect the solubility of gases in liquids?

Back

Temperature and pressure are key factors; gases are less soluble in liquids at higher temperatures and lower pressures.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and the solubility of gases?

Back

As pressure increases, the solubility of gases in liquids also increases.

Front

Define molarity.

Back

Molarity is a measure of concentration, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (mol/L).

Front

How do you calculate molarity?

Back

Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.

Front

What happens to gas volume when pressure increases at constant temperature?

Back

The volume of a gas decreases when pressure increases, according to Boyle's Law.

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Front

What is an aqueous solution?

Back

An aqueous solution is a solution in which water is the solvent.

Front

What is saturation in a solution?

Back

Saturation occurs when no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of solids in liquids?

Back

Generally, the solubility of solids in liquids increases with an increase in temperature.
