Solubility Curves

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

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

Front

Define solute.

Back

The substance that is dissolved in a solvent.

Front

Define solvent.

Back

The substance in which the solute is dissolved.

Front

What does saturated solution mean?

Back

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

What does unsaturated solution mean?

Back

A solution that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What does supersaturated solution mean?

Back

A solution that contains more solute than can normally be dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

How does temperature affect solubility?

Back

Generally, solubility of solids increases with temperature, while solubility of gases decreases.

What is the solubility of KClO3 at 80 ºC?

Back

It is unsaturated when 20 grams are dissolved in 100 grams of water.

What is the solubility of NaNO3 at 40ºC in 100g of water?

Back

60 grams results in an unsaturated solution.
