Solubility Curve

Solubility Curve

1. What is ?

   • Graph comparing the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at various temperatures

2. Solute

   • Minor component in a solution, disolved in the solvent

3. Solution

   • Homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances
   • Types
     • Supersaturated
       • Solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature
     • Unsaturated
       • Solution That contains less that the maximun amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent
     • Saturated
       • Solution that contains the maximun amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent

4. Solvent

   • The Substance doing the dissolving, usually the component of a solution in the greater amount
