Definitions Of Solubilty

Question 1

What is a solvent

Answer 1

The liquid in which the solute dissolves

Question 2

What is a solute

Answer 2

A soluble substance which dissolves

Question 3

What is a solution

Answer 3

A mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent

Question 4

Saturated solution

Answer 4

A solution in which no more solid will dissolve at a particular temperature.

Question 5

What is Insoluble

Answer 5

A substance that will not dissolve in a particular solvent

Question 6

Example of the formation of a solution

Answer 6

Sugar (solute)+ water (solvent) = sugar water (solution)

Question 7

A solution that has a lot of solute in a certain volume is said to be

Answer 7

Concentrated

Question 8

A solution with only a little solute in a certain volume of water is said to be

Answer 8

Dilute

Question 9

What do water particles attract and what happens

Answer 9

They attract sugar and pull them apart so they spread and mix in the water (diffusion)

Question 10

What is solubility

Answer 10

Solubility is the mass of solid that will completely saturate 100g of water (or solvent) at a particular temperature.

Question 11

What is saturated solution

Answer 11

Saturated solution is one in which no more solid will dissolve at a particular temperature

Question 12

Factors that affect solubility

Answer 12

-temperature
-stirring
-volume of solvent
-Type of solute (some substances dissolve better in water than others)
-Surface area of the solute (granules, powder or cubes)

Question 13

What is the equation to work our the solubility of a substance

Answer 13

Solubility(g/100g of water)= mass of solute/mass of solvent X100
