Solubility Define: miscible, saturated, unsaturated, solubility, supersaturation.

Describe factors that effect solubility. Use “solubility rules” to predict the solubility of an ionic compound in water.

Interpret and construct solubility curves. Use solubility curves to distinguish among saturated, supersaturated, and unsaturated

solutions. Apply the “like dissolves like” rule to real-world situations.

(b) BaSO4 insoluble

(c) (NH4)2S soluble

(d) AgI insoluble

Salt/Alcohol + Water Demo

1) Why won’t the salt dissolve after a certain amount has been added?

2) What do we call this point?

3) What do we call it before we reach this point?

4) How can we get a supersaturated solution?

5) Does the same phenomenon occur between alcohol and water?

6) What can we call a solution between alcohol and water?

NotesI. Solubility

A. Definitions1. Saturated Solution - a solution where the

solvent can no longer dissolve more solute at a certain temperature

2. Unsaturated Solution - a solution that has not yet reached its saturation point.

3. Supersaturated Solution – a solution which holds more solute that can be dissolved at a certain temperature

Notes4. Soluble – a substance that can form

fairly concentrated solutions5. Miscible – a solution that can be

mixed in all proportions of solutes to solvent without hitting a saturation point. Most liquid-liquid solutions and all gas-gas solutions are miscible.

6. Insoluble – A substance that can form only very dilute solutions.

How can we define solubility?

Notes7. Solubility - the ability and

quantity of solute needed to saturate a given amount of solvent.

a. The unit used to designate this number is grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

Ex. at 53 C, 85 grams of KNO3 will saturate 100 grams of H2O. Therefore, the solubility of KNO3

at 50 C is reported as: 85 grams KNO3 per 100 grams H2O.

Solubility CurvesAnswer the following questions based on the solubility chart on the left

1. What is the maximum amount in grams of hydrochloric acid that can dissolve in 100 g of water in 80 C? How about in 40 C?

____________ ____________

2. What is the maximum amount in grams of salt that can dissolve in 100 ml of water in 80 C? How about in 40 C?

____________ ____________

NotesB. Solubility Chart

(Reference Table G)1. Solubility curves

show the concentration of a saturated solution at varying temperatures.

Thought QuestionsBased on the solubility curve in the previous slide,

we can see that solubility increases with increasing temperature.

A. How can you explain 3 curves on the table which show that solubility decreases with increasing

temperature?

B. What do you predict will happen if I prepare a solution to saturation at a high temperature and

then slowly decrease the temperature?

Notes

C. The solubility of a gas in water decreases as the temperature increases.

Ex: HCl (aq) SO2 (aq)

D. Supersaturated Solution – Usually, when a solution is prepared at a higher temperature and then cooled slowly, the solute is still suspended in the solution in an unstable way.

Ex. Honey – After a period of time, the excess sugar in honey will crystallize at the bottom of the jar. The honey can be restored to its original supersaturated state by heating it and then allowing it to cool slowly
