Temperature and measuring solubility!✨ Flashcards
What is solubility?
Solubility is how soluble a substance is at a given temperature.
How do you compare the solubility of different solutes?
To compare the solubility of different solutes, measure how much of each solute dissolves in a known and constant amount of the solvent.
How does temperature influence the rate and ease of a solute dissolving?
Solutes generally dissolve more quickly and easily in hot water than cold water.
Using particle theory, explain why higher temperatures enhance the dissolving of solutes.
Higher temperatures provide more energy to particles, causing them to vibrate and move more vigorously, speeding up and simplifying the dissolving.
How does temperature affect the mass of solute that can be dissolved?
A greater mass of solute can be dissolved in hot water than in the same volume of cold water.
Write a general statement about the impact of higher temperatures on solubility.
As the temperature increases, the solubility of most substances also increases.
