1
New cards
Unsaturated solution
A solution in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure.
2
New cards
Saturated solution
A solution that contains the maximum quantity of solute at a given temperature and pressure.
3
New cards
Supersaturated solution
A solution that contains more than the maximum quantity of solute that it should at a given temperature and pressure.
4
New cards
Solubility curve
A graph of the solubility of a substance over a range of temperature.
5
New cards
Solubility of gases
The solubility of gases decreases as the temperature rises, as the molecules of gas dissolved are able to escape the solution and float away in the atmosphere.
6
New cards
Solubility of solids
The solubility of solids generally increases as the temperature increases.
7
New cards
Solubility of a gas
The solubility of a gas increases as the applied pressure increases.
8
New cards
Solubility of a solution
The mass of the solute required to form a saturated solution in 100g (100 mL) of water at a given temperature.
