Solubility Flashcards
How does Temperature affect Solubility?
Higher temperature increases solubility.
What is Solubility?
How much solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.
What is Quantitative Solubility?
The maximum amount of solute per given amount of solvent.
What is Qualitative Solubility?
Soluble or insoluble?
What is a Saturated Solution?
A saturated solution is a solution in which no more solvent can be dissolved.
What is a Supersaturated Solution?
A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances. It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound.
How is Solubility different in gases when compared to solids?
Unlike solids, gases tend to become less soluble with increases in temperature.
What is the formula for Solubility?
S1/P1 = S2/P2. S is the amount in grams per liter. P is the pressure.
___ describes a solution in which no more solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.
C. Saturated.
