What is a Solute? • The substance that is being dissolved. • Examples: Salt, Kool-Aid, Crystal Light
What is a Solvent? • Dissolving Agent; dissolves the solute. • Example: Water - Universal Solvent.
Solubility of a Substance • The amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of water at a specific temperature.
Solubility Curve • The relationship between the solute solubility in water and temperature. • Temperature is the independent variable (x-axis).
Saturated Solution • The maximum amount of solute a solvent can dissolve at a given temperature. • Any data point that falls on the curve of the graph is a saturated sol’n.
Unsaturated Solution • If you can add more solute to a solution and it will still dissolve, then the solution is classified as unsaturated. • On a solubility graph, it will fall below the curve for the specific solute (NaCl).
Supersaturated Solution • A solution that contains more solute than it can normally dissolve per a given amount of water. • This happens by cooling a saturated sol’n to make it supersaturated. • Any data point that is above the solubility curve is classified as a supersaturated sol’n.
Seed Crystal • A crystal of the solute added to a supersaturated solution so the excess solute will precipitate out (crystals form). • Example - Rock Candy - seed crystal is added to crystallize a supersaturated solution of sugar water.
Question #1 • What is the solubility of potassium nitrate in 100.0 grams of water at 80.0ºC? • Answer = 166g KNO3
Question #2 • What is the solubility of potassium chloride in 100.0 g of water at 50.0ºC? • Answer: 42g KCl
Question #7 • How much more potassium chloride will dissolve 90.0ºC than at 20.0ºC? • Answer = 53-33= 20 g KCl
Question #12 • How much sodium chloride will dissolve in 350.0g of water at 70.0ºC? • Answer = 38 = x 100 350 X = 133g NaCl
