Solubility curves

• solvent = liquid that a solid dissolves in
• solute = solid that dissolves in a liquid
• soluble = when a solid can dissolve in a liquid
• insoluble = when a solid can't dissolve in a liquid
• solution = produced when a solute dissolves into solvent
• solubility = how much mass of solute can dissolve in solvent
• saturated solution = no more solute can dissolve in a solvent -> reached capacity
• solubility curve = shows how the solubility of a solute changes with temperature
• units of solubility = gram per 100 gram water

  or

  gram per 100cm^3 water
• the solubilty curve shows solubility increases with an increase in temperature
• solubility curve shows that solubility decreases with a decrease in temperature
• why is the temp range of solubilty curves between 0 degrees and 100?


  100 is boiling point and 0 is freezing point
• graph can show maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at each temp
