What is a solubility curve?

• A method used to determine the boiling point of a substance.

• A graphical representation of the solubility of a substance at various temperatures.

• A measure of the acidity of a substance at various temperatures.

• A scale used to measure the density of a substance at various temperatures.

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

• The solution is holding as much solute as it can at that temperature and pressure.

• The solution is unsaturated and has a low concentration of solute.

• The solution is diluted and has a low concentration of solute.

• The solution is supersaturated and has a high concentration of solute.
