Solubility Worksheet

Name three factors that influence the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

• Temperature, agitation, and particle size

• Color, odor, and taste

• Volume, mass, and density

• Pressure, humidity, and altitude

Solubility is defined as:

• The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent

• The ability of a substance to conduct electricity

• The ability of a substance to react with acids

• The ability of a substance to change color

Saturated means:

• Completely filled or soaked with a substance

• Partially filled

• Dry and empty

• Unable to dissolve any more solute

Unsaturated means:

• Containing double or triple bonds

• Containing only single bonds

• Fully saturated with hydrogen

• A type of solid

Supersaturated is defined as:

• A solution that contains more dissolved solute than it normally would at a given temperature

• A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature

• A solution that contains less solute than it can hold at a given temperature

• A solution that contains only one type of solute

The graph below contains solubility curves and can be used to determine if a particular solution is saturated at a given set of conditions and how much of the solute is dissolved under those conditions. Whenever you are given a graph to analyze the first thing you should do is look at each axis to determine what information the graph is showing. X-axis – ____________________________

• Temperature (°C)

• Solubility (g/100g H2O)

• Pressure (atm)

• Volume (L)
