Solutions and Solubility
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solvent | part of a solution that does the dissolving |
| Solute | part of a solution that is dissolved |
| Solution | results when a solute dissolves in a solvent |
| Solubility | how well a solute dissolves in a solvent |
| 4 Factors that Affect Solubility | temperature, particle size, concentration, pressure |
| Effect of increasing temperature on solubility of a solid | Increases solubility |
| Effect of increasing temperature on solubility of a gas | Decreases solubility |
| Effect of increasing pressure on solubility of a gas | Increases solubility |
| Saturation | point at which the solvent contains as much solute as it can hold in solution |
| Universal solvent | Water |
| Property of water that makes it a good solvent | Polarity |
| Effect of smaller particle size (increased surface area) on solubility of a solid | Increases solubility |
| Concentration | the amount of dissolved solute in a solution |
