Questions and Answers

A concentrated solution can be obtained from a diluted one by:

  • Increasing the amount of solvent
  • Decreasing the surface area of the solute
  • Increasing the amount of solute or decreasing the amount of solvent by heating (correct)
  • Decreasing the amount of solute by cooling

What is an unsaturated solution?

  • A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute
  • A solution that has no solute dissolved
  • A solution that contains less solute than its solubility (correct)
  • A solution that contains more solute than its solubility

What happens to the solubility of a gaseous solute in a liquid solvent as the temperature increases?

  • It increases
  • It becomes saturated
  • It decreases (correct)
  • It remains the same

Study Notes

Solution Concentration

  • A concentrated solution has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute.
  • A dilute solution has a relatively small amount of dissolved solute.
  • A concentrated solution can be obtained from a diluted one by increasing the amount of solute or decreasing the amount of solvent by heating.
  • A dilute solution can be obtained from a concentrated one by increasing the amount of solvent.

Solution Types

  • Solubility is the maximum quantity of solute in a definite amount of solvent at specific conditions.
  • An unsaturated solution has a quantity of solute less than its solubility dissolved in a definite amount of solvent at specific conditions.
  • A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute (equal to its solubility) dissolved in a definite amount of solvent at specific conditions.
  • A supersaturated solution contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature.

Factors Affecting Dissolving Rate

  • Factors that affect the rate of dissolving a solid solute in a liquid solvent are temperature, stirring (shaking), and increasing the surface area of the solute.
  • Increasing temperature, stirring (shaking), and increasing the surface area of the solute increase the dissolving rate.
  • The solubility of a gaseous solute in a liquid solvent increases by decreasing the temperature and stirring (shaking).
