Julian - 7th - Flashcard Set for 6.5 Solubility Curves

Saturated Solution

A solution that contains the MAXIMUM amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent

Supersaturated Solution

a solution that contains MORE of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances (usually temperature)

Unsaturated Solution

A solution that contains LESS than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent.

Solubility Curve

A graph that shows how the solubility of substance changes as temperature changes in specific amount of water usually 100 g (or mL)

Solution

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed through a single phase.

Solute

minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.

Solvent

The substance doing the dissolving, usually the component of a solution in the greater amount.

Crystallizes

The process of forming crystals (a reaction)

Dissolve

To be abosrbed into a liquid (Influenced by Stirring, Temperature, and Surface Area)

Precipitate

cause (a substance) to be deposited in solid form from a solution.

Line in Graph

Represents the Solubility in the Graph

Solubility

The ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous to dissolve in solvent and form a solution
