Study Notes

Solubility Curves Overview

  • Solubility curves illustrate the relationship between temperature and the amount of solute that will dissolve in a solvent.
  • KNO3 has a notable solubility increase with temperature changes.

Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solutions

  • A saturated solution holds the maximum amount of solute at a specific temperature; observed when some solute remains at the bottom.
  • An unsaturated solution contains less solute than could potentially dissolve at that temperature; no solute settled at the bottom.
  • A supersaturated solution contains more solute than the predicted saturation level; often formed by cooling a saturated solution without crystallization.

Key Solubility Data

  • At 50°C, 83 grams of KNO3 will create a saturated solution.
  • 100 grams of KNO3 at 30°C results in a supersaturated solution.
  • 300 grams of water can dissolve 120 grams of NaCl at 90°C.
  • 80 grams of NaCl in 100 grams of water at 90°C indicates a supersaturated condition.
  • 17 grams of SO2 can dissolve in 100 grams of water at 10°C.

Solubility Characteristics of Different Substances

  • KI is the most soluble substance at 10°C.
  • KClO3 is the least soluble at 10°C.
  • KNO3 exhibits the greatest variation in solubility with temperature changes.
  • NaCl shows the least change in solubility with varying temperature.

Grams Needed for Saturation

  • To saturate a solution at 10°C with 50 grams of NaNO3 already present, an additional 30 grams is needed.

Definitions of Solution Types

  • A saturated solution is one that holds as much solute as possible.
  • An unsaturated solution has not reached its solubility limit.
  • A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the predicted saturation for that temperature.

Mixture Types

  • Homogeneous mixtures have the same composition throughout.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures differ in composition throughout.

Solvent and Solute

  • The solvent is the component of a solution that dissolves the solute.
  • The solute is the substance that dissolves within the solvent.

Universal Solvent

  • Water is referred to as the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve many substances.

Other Important Definitions

  • Concentrated solutions contain a high amount of solute.
  • Solubility curves graphically represent solute dissolution in water across various temperatures.
  • Solubility of solids and liquids typically increases with temperature, while gas solubility tends to decrease as temperature rises.
