Back

A solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

How does temperature affect solubility?

Back

Generally, increasing temperature increases the solubility of solids in liquids.

Front

What is the mass of a solution?

Back

The total mass of the solute and solvent combined.
