Lesson 4 - 7 : Concentration and Solubility Flashcards
What’s a solvent?
the substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution
What is known as the universal solvent?
WATER
Soluble is
the ability to be dissolved
What is Concentration?
the amount of solute dissolved in a specific solvent within a solution
What’s a dilute solution?
A solution with a small amount of solute in the solvent
Tell me the formula for concentration
Concentration = Mass divided by volume, C = M/V
A concentrated solution is
one that has a large amount of solute in the solvent
When no more solute can dissolve in a specific amount of solvent at a particular temperature, this is known as what?
A Saturated Solution
An unsaturated solution means that…
more solute can still be dissolved
When a solution is supersaturated, that means…
that it contains more solute than it could normally dissolve
Define solubility
the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in specific amount of solvent at a specific temperature
What are the 3 factors that affect solubility?
1) Type of Solute
2) Type of Solvent
3) Temperature
An aqueous solution is
one that has a solvent of water
What happens to the solubility of a gas when the temperature increases?
Its solubility DECREASES!
True or False: Water at high temperatures cannot dissolve oxygen.
- this is why warm water can harm fish
TRUE
