Principles of Chemistry - States of Matter (Paper 2) Flashcards
1
Q
what is solubility?
A
the maximum mass of a solute that dissolves in 100g of solvent
2
Q
what is solubility measured in?
A
grams per 100g of solvent
3
Q
what is a solubility curve?
A
a graph of solubility vs temperature
4
Q
how would you investigate how temperature affects solubility?
A
measure solubility as normal at different tempratures
5
Q
how do you calculate solubility?
A
solubility = (mass of solid / mass of water removed) x 100
