Solutions & Solubility Curves Flashcard Review w/AI

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

How can you make a solute dissolve faster in a solvent?

Back

You can make a solute dissolve faster by increasing the temperature of the solvent and stirring.

Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution is one that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one in which more solute can still dissolve in the solvent.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature, often achieved by heating and then cooling the solution.

Front

What happens when 30 grams of KNO3 is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 20 ºC?

Back

The solution is saturated.

Front

How many grams of NaNO3 are soluble in 100 g of water at 10 ºC?

Back

80 grams.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on solubility?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between a dilute and a concentrated solution?

Back

A dilute solution has a small amount of solute compared to the solvent, while a concentrated solution has a large amount of solute.
