I have a lab report on solubility and I'm stuck on what is actually solubility. @jareeek @bringmetherain @gottennis121
wait what grade are you in? sorry for asking im just confused with this question your asking
11th
i think its kind of out of my level (oДo)
cx
okay it's fine. Thanks anyway!
gotten you think you can help
Would this site be able to help? http://www.chem.wisc.edu/deptfiles/genchem/sstutorial/Text11/Tx112/tx112.html
I'm no where near 11th either, but I do enjoy Science. :)
Like the definition.
I reviewed the lesson, talked it over with my teacher. However, I still don't get most of this unit. I figure maybe I'm over thinking it.... Anyways I believe this involves salt?
@AihberKhan @Keigh2015 @DARTHVADER2900 @timothywhitaker
I know you have to know the phases , which are gas, liquid and solid.
I'm not sure, and don't want to give you the wrong info.
it's fine. I just came on here to get a better understanding of the unit.
Maybe Master can help. *Waits* :P
you know like a review.
okay
Solubility is a chemical property referring to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called a saturated solution. http://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/solubility.htm
thank you, if you don't mind as in giving me an example of how I would experiment this? That's if that even possible...
I don't know. Maybe you can check that link out.
Solubility is the amount that a substance will dissolve in. There is two parts that play in solubility. 1. Solvent: it is the dissolving agent of a substance. This is typically always water. 2. Solute(s): is the dissolved substance. Typically they can be of numerous organic or inorganic molecules.
A good example would be pouring salt into a container of water. The bonds of the salt would be broken or in other terms dissolving the bonds.
I hope this helps, as previously stated solubility is the capability a substance has to be separated into its components, if you think of mixing table salt (NaCl) in a glass of water you can actually visualize the cristals in the spoon but once you mix it they "disappear". But in reality the components of the salt are separated into Na+ and Cl- ions. Which is why table salt is soluble. However when you try to mix sand with water the grains of sand stay the same because most of the components its made of like silica (SiO2 or silica) are not soluble. I suggest you check what solutions are and that has some background. I hope I didn't complicated things too much.
