as pressure ________________ , gases become more soluble.

less

fill in the blank.

as temperature increases, gases become _____________ soluble.

alloy

it is a solid solution that is a combination of two or more metals.

saturated solution

it is when the amount of solute dissolved is equal to the maximum amount the solvent can dissolve at a specific temperature.

unsaturated solution

it is a solution that contains a lesser amount of solute than it is required to saturate at a particular temperature; it has the ability to dissolve more solute to become a saturated solution.

supersaturated solution

it is a solution which contains more solute than the saturated solution due to heating.

saturated & unsaturated solution

these are types of solutions wherein no precipitation occurs.

supersaturated solution

this type of solution produces precipitation when cooled.

true

true or false.

saturated solutions are in a state of dynamic equilibrium.

true

true or false.

both unsaturated and supersaturated solutions are not in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
