A Solution Is

Which would NOT increase the rate at which a sugar cube dissolves?

• Reducing the amount of solvent

• Crushing the sugar cube

• Stirring the solution

• Heating the solvent

A solution that contains all of the solute it can hold at a given temperature is

• diluted.

• saturated.

• supersaturated.

• unsaturated.

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

• concentration.

• density.

• dilution.

• solubility.

Students in Ms. Alvarez’s science class are investigating how temperature, in degrees Celsius (C), affects the solubility of a compound in 100 milliliters (mL) of water. Ms. Alvarez provides the students with a graph that shows the solubility of a certain compound, as shown below.

She then tell the students that she will demonstrate how many grams (g) of the compound will dissolve in 100 mL of water at 40 C. Based on the information in the graph, which of the following is the best prediction of how many grams of the compound will dissolve at 40 C?

• 40 g

• 65 g

• 85 g

• 100 g
