Solubility Quiz

What is solubility?

• The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas

• Ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent

• The ability of a substance to conduct electricity

• The process of a substance turning into a gas

What factors affect the solubility of a substance?

• Distance from the equator

• Temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solvent and solute

• Time of day

• Color of the substance

Define the term 'solute' in the context of solubility.

• Substance that causes the solvent to evaporate

• Substance that changes the color of the solvent

• Substance being dissolved in a solvent

• Substance that prevents the solvent from dissolving

What is the difference between a saturated solution and an unsaturated solution?

• A saturated solution contains more solute than an unsaturated solution

• An unsaturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature

• A saturated solution contains less solute than an unsaturated solution

• A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature, while an unsaturated solution contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.

How does temperature affect the solubility of a substance?

• Temperature only increases the solubility of a substance at extremely high levels

• Temperature always decreases the solubility of a substance

• Temperature has no effect on the solubility of a substance

• Temperature affects the solubility of a substance by either increasing or decreasing it.
