How does temperature affect the solubility of most solids in water?

Back

As temperature increases, the solubility of most solids in water increases.

Front

What happens to the rate of dissolution when a solid solute is stirred in water?

Back

Stirring increases the rate of dissolution.

Front

What is the effect of particle size on the rate of dissolution?

Back

Smaller particles dissolve faster than larger particles.

Front

What is the term for a solution that has a maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature?

Back

This is called a saturated solution.

Front

What is a dilute solution?

Back

A dilute solution contains a small amount of solute relative to the solvent.

Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution contains a large amount of solute relative to the solvent.
