Solubility and the Rate of Dissolving

a graph that compares the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at various temperatures

• solubility curve

• pH scale

• surface area

• direct variation

a factor that affects solubility by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules; the more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute molecules more often allowing dissolving to happen faster and more solute to be dissolved

• saturation

• temperature

• agitation

• surface area

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

a factor that affects solubility by moving the molecules of the solute and solvent around to cause more collisions to increase the rate of solubility; stirring is an example

• indicator

• temperature

• agitation

• surface area

a factor that affects solubility by decreasing the size of the solute particles to increase solubility rate; grinding a solute is an example of this factor

• agitation

• temperature

• surface area

• saturation

the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent

• solution

• concentration

• solute

• solubility

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent

• saturated

• unsaturated

• super saturated

• agitation

a solution in which more solute can be added and dissolved. It is below the maximum amount of solute.

• saturated

• unsaturated

• neutral

• super saturated

a solution that contains more of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances; increasing temperature or pressure can increase the maximum possible solute dissolved in a solvent

• saturated

• unsaturated

• super saturated

• concentration

when a substance is becoming part of a liquid to form a solution

• agitation

• dissolving

• solubility

• concentration

A substance doing the dissolving, usually the part of a solution present in the larger amount
