Solubility Practice BK Chemistry

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent, forming a homogeneous solution.

Front

What factors affect solubility?

Back

Factors affecting solubility include temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Front

What is molarity?

Back

Molarity is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (mol/L).

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of solids in liquids?

Back

Generally, the solubility of solids in liquids increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of gases in liquids?

Back

The solubility of gases in liquids typically decreases with an increase in temperature.

Front

What are ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature.

Front

What are spectator ions?

Back

Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in a chemical reaction and remain unchanged in solution.

Front

What is the difference between strong and weak electrolytes?

Back

Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into ions in solution, while weak electrolytes partially dissociate.
