1.6C: Understand How to Plot and Interpret Solubility Curves



SOLUBILITY: How much of a substance will dissolve in a given volume of a solvent (shown in the units of g per 100g of solvent)
s
  • If a substance is soluble, it will dissolve in a given amount of solvent (liquid)
  • Solubility increases as temperature and pressure increases




EXAMPLE OF INTERPRETING SOLUBILITY CURVES:




SOLID
EXPLANATION
A
As temperature increases, solubility of Solid A increases the most
B
As temperature increases, solubility of Solid B increases but at a slower rate than Solid A
C
Temperature does not affect the solubility of Solid C
