11. Amounts that can dissolve
• Solubility = maximum amount of 1
substance that will dissolve in a given
amount of another substance.
• LIMITS to the amounts of most liquid
or solid solutes that will dissolve in a
given solvent.
• Temperature and pressure can affect
solubility.
12. Factors that affect the rate of
dissolving
• Rate of dissolving is different from
the amount that will dissolve!
• Rate is how fast. Several factors
influence rate of dissolving.
–Temperature
–Stirring or Agitation
–Surface Area of Solute
–Amount of solute already dissolved.
13. Dissolving
• Dissolving is a physical change.
• All physical & chemical changes
are accompanied by changes in
energy.
18. Solvation
• Interaction between the solvent
molecules and the solute particles.
Solute particles are surrounded by
solvent particles in the dissolving
process.
• Solute particles may be ions, polar
molecules, or nonpolar molecules.
• Solvent molecules may be polar or
nonpolar.
22. Solubility
• Amount of solute that will dissolve in
a specific solvent at a given
TEMPERATURE and PRESSURE.
• Determined experimentally.
• Units:
grams solute per 100 grams solvent
23. Solubility Curves of Selected Solids
Solubility
traces for
most but not
all solids have
+’ve slopes.
The hotter the
solvent, the
more solute
dissolves.
24. Why do we heat the water up when
making rock candy?
25. Solubility Curves of Selected Gases
Solubility
traces for all
gases have
–’ve slopes.
Why do fish like cold water?
26. Why do you see
bubbles form on
the side of the
beaker as the
water warms up?
(It’s not hot
enough to boil.)
27. Vocabulary Interlude
• Miscible: two liquids that will mix in
any amounts.
–Water and ethanol are miscible in all
proportions.
• Immiscible: Liquids that cannot mix
–Oil and water are immiscible.

31. Vocabulary Interlude
• Electrolyte: A substance that dissolves in
water to form a solution that conducts
electricity. (There are ions in the solution.)
• Nonelectrolyte: A substance that
dissolves in water to form a solution that
does not conduct electricity. (There are
neutral molecules in solution.)
33. Dilute vs. Concentrated
• Tell you relative amount of solute in
solvent.
• Concentrated – relatively large
amounts of solute.
• Dilute – relatively small amounts
of solute.
34. Which solution
is the most
dilute? The
most
concentrated?
How do you
know?
The stronger the color, the more
concentrated the solution.
37. Unsaturated Solution
• Has less solute than the
maximum amount that will
dissolve at that temperature and
pressure.
38. Saturated Solution
• No more solute will dissolve in it
at that temperature & pressure.
• Solubility = amount of solute
required to form a saturated
solution.
40. Dynamic Equilibrium = Saturated Solution
Microscopic
level: Rate of
dissolving =
Rate of
recrystallization.
Macroscopic
level: No
apparent
change.
41. Supersaturated Solution
• Contains more solute than a
saturated solution.
• VERY unstable.
• Have to be clever to make them
up.

44. 3 possible results:
• Crystal dissolves
• No apparent change in crystal
• Bam! Suddenly have lots of solid
solute in beaker.
Unsaturated
solution.
Saturated
solution.
Supersaturated
solution.
46. How do the terms saturated,
unsaturated & supersaturated fit
in with the solubility curves?
• Saturated solutions have maximum solute that
will dissolve at that temperature. Points on
traces represent saturated solutions.
• All points above a trace represent
supersaturated solutions of that solute.
• All points below a trace represent unsaturated
solutions of that solute.
47. A
B
C
D
Characterize points
A, B, C, D with
respect to KNO3
trace using the
terms dilute &
concentrated, and
saturated,
unsaturated, or
supersaturated.
A = concentrated &
supersaturated.
D = dilute & unsaturated.
48. Summary of Dissolving
• Occurs at the surface of the solid.
• Involves an interaction between the
solute and the solvent.
• Interaction is called “solvation.”
• If water is the solvent, the interaction
is called “hydration.”
• Involves changes in energy.

50. Solubility Information
• Often presented in graphs
• Show the number of grams of a substance that
can be dissolved in water between 0oC and
100oC.
• Each trace represents a saturated solution.
– The space above each trace represents
supersaturated solutions.
– The space below each trace represents unsaturated
solutions.
51. Solubility Graphs
• Some traces have positive slopes; some
are negative.
• Most solids have a positive slope – the
hotter the water, the more solute
dissolves.
• All gases have a negative slope – the
hotter the water, the less gas dissolves.
– The colder the water, the more gas dissolves.
