Front

A substance doing the dissolving, usually the part of a solution present in the larger amount

Back

solvent

Front

a substance being dissolved, usually the part of the solution in the lesser amount

Back

solute

Front

The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.

Back

Solubility

Front

Describes how much solute has been dissolved in a solution and is expressed in some kind of ratio

Back

concentration

Front

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent

Back

saturated

Front

A solution in which more solute can be added and dissolved. It is below the maximum amount of solute.

Back

unsaturated

Front

A solution that contains more of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances; increasing temperature or pressure can increase the maximum possible solute dissolved in a solvent.

Back

super saturated

Front

A graph that compares the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at various temperatures.

Back

solubility curve

Front

A factor that affects solubility by moving the molecules of the solute and solvent around to cause more collisions to increase the rate of solubility; stirring is an example.

Back

agitation

Front

Which substance has 80 grams of solute dissolved in 100 grams of water at 50 C? Options: Potassium Bromide, Ammonium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Lithium Hydroxide

Back

Potassium Bromide
