SOLUBILITY
Let’s Review some vocabulary!
solubility: The ability to dissolve a substance in water.
solute: The substance being dissolved.
solvent: The substance that the solute is being dissolved in.
Water is considered the universal solvent! Why?
solution: A mixture made of solute(s) and a solvent.
Solutions
Some solutions are good conductors of electricity.
To understand conductivity of solutions we need to review covalent vs. ionic bonds:
Conductivity of Solutions
• Ionic bonds tend to break up in water, covalent bonds don't.
• This is b/c the charged ions are attracted to the opposite partial charges on the water molecules. So the ionic compound is pulled apart in the water!!!
• When the ionic bonds break, they leave the ions floating around in the water as charged particles. That's important…
Conductivity of Solutions
• It’s important b/c electricity is carried by charged particles. So, a good conductor of electricity would be a sodium ion, Na+, or a chlorine ion, Cl-. (See where this is going?)
• Covalent bonds do not have charged particles.
• So solutions that have an ionic compound as a solute will conduct electricity well!!!
Solubility Curves (Graphs)
Solubility varies from one substance to the next.
Therefore, we have solubility curves… graphs of solutes regarding the amount that will dissolve in a certain amount of solvent.

Reading a Solubility Curve
Where the solutes cross they are equally soluble at that temperature.
(Remember: Temp. is on the X-AXIS
Amount of Solute dissolved is on the Y-AXIS)

Reading a Solubility Curve For Gases
• The solubility curve for gasesare the opposite of the solubility curve for solids.
• The solubility of a gas decreases as the temperature increases.

Saturated SolutionsSaturation is when something has dissolved in a solution and no more of it will dissolve under normal circumstances. It has reached equilibrium.
Unsaturated Solutions
Unsaturated is just before the equilibrium is reached, so you can keep dissolving the substance into the solution.
Supersaturated Solutions
• Supersaturated is when you change the conditions so that you can dissolve more of the substance into the solution than it normally would.
• If the solution is brought back under normal conditions, it will spit back out the substance. (Coca-cola is an example of a super saturated solution of CO2, when a bottle is opened it will attempt to reach equilibrium again by bubbling and fizzing. When it does reach equilibrium it becomes flat)
• Another example is Rock Candy

Factors that Affect Solubility
There are three main factors that will cause the rate of solubility (how fast a solute dissolves) to increase.
Can you guess what they might be? 1. Stirring2. Heating the solution3. Increasing the surface area of the solute
