Solubility Curve

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

A graph that shows the relationship between the solubility of a substance and temperature.

Front

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

Back

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

What happens to the solubility of most salts as temperature increases?

Back

Most salts increase in solubility as temperature rises.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.
