2. Solubility and Concentration
How much can dissolve?
SOLUBILITY (sol yuh BIH luh tee) is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.

3. Comparing Solubilities
Solubility and Concentration
Comparing Solubilities
The amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent depends on the nature of these substances.

4. Mathematically this means:
Solubility and Concentration
The CONCENTRATION describes how much solute is present in a solution compared to the amount of solvent.
Mathematically this means:
How much solute <=> measured in grams
Amount of solvent <=> measured in ml
Comparison <=> ratio
Solute/solvent <=> grams/milliliter

5. Precise Concentrations
Solubility and Concentration
Precise Concentrations
Concentrations of solutions can be described precisely, such as the percentage by volume of the solute.

6. Types of Solutions Saturated Solutions
Solubility and Concentration
Types of Solutions
Saturated Solutions
A SATURATED SOLUTION is a solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature.

7. Solubility and Concentration
Saturated Solutions
The table shows the amounts of a few solutes that can dissolve in 100 g of water at different temperatures to form saturated solutions.

8. Solubility and Concentration
Solubility Curves
You can use a SOLUBILITY CURVE to determine how much solute will dissolve at any temperature given on the graph.

9. Solubility and Concentration
Solubility Curves
An UNSATURATED SOLUTION is any solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

11. Solubility and Concentration
A SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION is one that contains more solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature.

12. Supersaturated Solutions
Solubility and Concentration
Supersaturated Solutions
Supersaturated solutions are unstable.
