Concentration, Dilution And Solubility Flashcards
Solution
A homogeneous mixture made up of a solute and a solvent
Solute
A substance that dissolves in another substance
Solvent
A substance that dissolves a solute
Concentration
The quantity of dissolved solute in a given quantity of solution
Formula of concentration
C=m/v
Dilution
Technique that involves decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding solvent
Formula of dilution
C1 v1 = C2 v2
Solubility
The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent
Saturated
Contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute
Unsaturated
Contains less than the maximum amount of dissolved solute
Supersaturated
Contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution
Factors effecting solubility
Temperature and nature of solvent
Hydrophilic
Dissolves in water
Lipophilic
Dissolves in oil
What happens to gas with temperature
It’s solubility decreases
