Solubility

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100g of solvent at a specific temperature.

Supersaturated Solution

A solution that contains more than the maximum amount of dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions.

Saturated Solution

A solution holding the maximum amount of solute possible at a given temperature.

Creating a Supersaturated Solution

The process of adding more solute to a saturated solution at a higher temperature, then cooling it down to form a supersaturated solution.

Study Notes

Solubility Concepts

  • At 50℃, a solution with 12g of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) per 100g of water is not saturated; an additional 18g is needed to reach saturation.
  • Not all substances exhibit increased solubility with rising temperature; this statement is false regarding solubility curves.

Measuring Solubility

  • Solubility is quantified by the maximum mass of a solute that can dissolve in 100g of solvent at a specified temperature.

Creating Supersaturated Solutions

  • Supersaturation occurs by first creating a saturated solution, then heating it, adding extra solute, and finally cooling back down.

Characteristics of Supersaturated Solutions

  • A supersaturated solution holds more dissolved solute than what is typically possible for a saturated solution under equivalent conditions.
