Concentration and Solubility
Define Solubility
A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
Define Unsaturated Solution
A solution in which more solute can be dissolved
Define Concentrated Solution
A solution that has a lot of solute.
Define Supersaturated Solution
A solution that has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubility
Define Dilute Solution
A solution that has only a little solute
Define Saturated Solution
A solution that has so much solute that no more dissolves.
How can you tell weather a white powder is salt without tasting it?
By measuring its solubility.
Which solution will have more gass dissolved in it, a solution under high or low pressure?
High pressure
Explain the meaning of "like disaolves like".
Like dissolves like means that ionic and polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents , but nonpolar compounds do not.
What are the amounts that you compare when measuring concentration?
The amounts you compare when measuring concentration are, the amount of solute to the amount of solvent.
How does temperature affect the solubility of most solids?
The higher the temperature, the more soluble it is. But the lower the temperature is, the solubility is also lower.
