Solubitliy Flashcards
Solution
The mixture of solute dissolved in a solvent
Saturated solution
A solution in which no more solid will dissolve in water at a particular temperature
Solubility
The mass of solid (solute) that will saturate 100g of water (or solvent) at a particular temperature
Soluble
A soluble substance dissolves in water
Insoluble
An insoluble substance doesn’t dissolve in water
Solute
A soluble substance which dissolves is the solute
Solvent
The liquid in which the solute dissolves is the solvent
What is the effect of increasing the temperature on gases solubility
Decreases
2 everyday examples that show gases dissolve in water
Fish need o2 in water
Carbonated drinks
Chlorine in swimming pools
Thermal pollution occurs when industrial plants allow warm water to drain into lakes and rivers, why this would cause problems for aquatic life
As temperature of water increases , the solubility of oxygen decreases, less O2 for fish so they die
