T/F In a solution, the molecules that are more present in the solution is the solvent
True
Define Solution Equilibrium
The dissolution of a solute in a solvent is an equilibrium process
Define Saturated Solutions
Dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with the excess undissolved solute
T/F In saturated solutions, additional solutes will continue to dissolve
False ; will not

On the line
Define Unsaturated Solutions
Solution containing less than the equilibrium amount of solute
Where on a graph are unsaturated solutions located?
Below the curve
Define Supersaturated Solutions

False ; decreases
The solubility of a gas depends on _____________
Pressure
T/F The larger the partial pressure of a gas in contact with a liquid, the more stable the gas is in the liquid
True
Define Henry’s Law
States that the solubility of gas (S gas) is directly proportional to its partial pressure (P gas)
Define Solubility
