Solutions and Solubility

The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature is its

• concentration.

• density.

• dilution.

• solubility.

A solution that is able to dissolve additional solute is best described as

• supersaturated.

• concentrated.

• saturated

• unsaturated.

Which substance is most soluble at 0ºC?

• KI

• NaNO₃

• NaCl

• Ce₂(SO₄)₃

Which of the following techniques will allow for more solute than normal to be dissolved in a solvent?

• Freezing the solution

• Shaking the solute

• Cooling the solution

• Heating the solution

Which of the following is an electrolyte?

• sodium chloride
• sugar (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen)
• water (hydrogen and water)
• sand (silicon and oxygen)

If an electrical current can run through a solution, it is said to contain

• magic
• nonelectrolytes
• electricity
• electrolytes

An example of a nonelectrolyte is

• sugar water
• salt water
• sodium chloride
• hydrogen chloride

The "like dissolves like" rule is the reason why water cannot dissolve

• salt
• sugar
• vinegar
• oil

When a substance can dissolve in another substance, it is said to be..

• soluble
• insoluble
• miscible
• immiscible

What factors DO NOT affect solubility 

• Temperature
• Pressure 
• Color
