UNIT 8.1 Review: Solution Basics & Solubility Curves

Front

What is a solute?

Back

The part of a solution that gets dissolved.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

The part of a solution that does the dissolving.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent.

Front

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

Back

It contains all of the solute it can hold at a given temperature.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

A solution that can still dissolve more solute.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature.

Front

What happens to solubility as temperature increases for most solids?

Back

Solubility increases with temperature.

Front

What is the saturation point?

Back

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Front

What is the effect of pressure on the solubility of solids?

Back

Pressure has little effect on the solubility of solids.

Front

What is the effect of pressure on the solubility of gases?

Back

Increased pressure increases the solubility of gases in liquids.
