Solubility Flashcards
solubility is the _____ property that describes the _____ amount of a substance that _____ in a given amount of solvent at a given _____
physical, maximum, dissolves, temperature
if less of the given solubility amount is added, the solvent has/ has not completely dissolved, and thus is _____
HAS, unsaturated
if more of the given solubility amount is added, the solvent has/ has not completely dissolved, and thus is _____
HAS NOT, saturated
solubility depends on what?
the ability of the solute to interact with the solvent
what is the solute?
substance being dissolved
what is the solvent?
substance dissolved in
what is the general rule of thumb for solubility?
like dissolves like
polar substances have a relatively ___ solubility in polar substances
high
are non-polar substances soluble in water?
no, cannot form hydrogen bonds with water, thus is insoluble in water
substances are soluble when _____ forces between solutes and solvent molecules interfere with ____ between solvent molecules
adhesive, cohesive
