Solubility Presentation

What is Solubility? �It’s the measurement/determination of how much of a solute will dissolve into a given amount of solvent. �Conditions of pressure (gases) and temperature will matter �We can change the solubility of a solute by adjusting/changing conditions

Types of Solutions � 1. Saturated Solution---contains the maximum amount of solute per volume of solvent �Should not be able to see the solute particles ever � 2. Unsaturated Solution—Contains less than the maximum amount of solute for a given volume of solvent �Could contain more solute if you wanted to add it, but will look the same as a saturated solution

Types continued � 3. Supersaturated Solution �Contains more solute than it should for a given set of volume and temperature conditions �Make it by heating the sample to “cram” in more solute �These are very unstable and can solidify at any moment

Liquid Solubility �Two liquids can dissolve into each other if they are compatible � 1. Miscible—term that is used to describe a mixture of soluble liquids � 2. Immiscible—term that is used to describe two liquids that do not dissolve into each other

Gas Solubility �Gases can be made to dissolve into solution if they are compatible �High Pressure and low temperature makes a gas most soluble �Low pressure and high temperature would make them least soluble (they can escape and have too much energy)
