Chapter 14.3, Problem 40SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility needs to be defined.

Concept introduction:

Solution can be defined as a homogenous mixture that consist of two components solute and solvent.

Solvent: Solvent can be defined as a component that dissolves another component.

Solute: Solute can be defined as a component that is dissolved in the other component, solvent.

During solution formation, solute and solvent particles collide with each other, so that the solute gets dissolves in solvent. The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure is known as solubility.

Answer to Problem 40SSC

Solubility can be defined as maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Solubility:

Solubility can be defined as maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

During solution formation, solute and solvent particles collide with each other, so that the solute gets dissolves in solvent. The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure is known as solubility.

Depending on the amount of solute added, rate of solvation changes and different types of solution forms:

Supersaturated solution:  The solution which comprises of a large amount of solute and solute is dissolved by raising the temperature.

Saturated solution: The solution in whicha solvent is not capable of dissolving any more solute at a define temperature.

Unsaturated solution:   The solution in whicha solvent is capable of dissolving more solute at a define temperature.
