Factors Affecting Solubility
What is temperature?
A very concentrated solution contains a large amount of dissolved solute and very little ____________.
What is solvent?
A solution is considered _______ when adding additional solute no longer increases the concentration of the solution - because no more can dissolve.
What is saturated?
This tool works by spinning vials of a solution, using centrifugal force to separate a solid solute that was previously dissolved.
What is a centrifuge?
This factor can allow a solvent to dissolve more gas (think of carbonated drinks in cans)
What is pressure?
A solution with a very weak concentration contains more solvent and a smaller amount of ________.
What is solute?
When we heat up a solvent, we can add more solid solute than we could at room temperature. This is called a ___________ solution. (Think about the rock candy experiment)
What is supersaturated?
This separation device can separate undissolved solid particles from a mixture, but cannot separate particles that have been dissolved. (Think of making coffee)
What is a filter?
This factor affects how quickly a solid solute can be dissolved in a solvent (think: sugar cubes vs. powdered sugar)
What is size?
A solution has a concentration of 1g/100ml. We would call this a ________ concentration.
What is weak?
As a supersaturated solution cools, these will form.
What are crystals?
This device can separate solids that are different sizes: think about sand and rocks
What is a sieve?
This factor is how much solute compared to the amount of solvent. The higher the ________, the less soluble the solute becomes.
What is concentration?
A solution has a concentration of 50 g/100 ml. This would be considered a _______ concentration.
What is strong?
When there is less solute than a solvent can dissolve, this is called a ____________ solution.
What is unsaturated?
