Solubility Curves

Reading Solubility Curves
What is Solubility?
Solubility: the maximum amount of
solute that will dissolve in a certain
amount of solvent at a given temperature
Solute = substance dissolved
Solvent = does the dissolving
Example: __ grams of salt (NaCl) in 100 g
of water at __ C.
Temperature and Solubility
Temperature affects how much of the solute
can be dissolved by the solvent.
Note: Increasing the temperature does not always
increase the solubilitythink about what happens to
dissolved gas in your soda when its heated
Solubility curves:
curves used to show how the
solubility of a substance changes with
temperature.
To read the
graph:
1. Find the
line for the
substance.
2. The
amount that
dissolves at a
given temp.
is on the y-
axis.
How much KNO3
dissolves in 100g
H2O at 50oC?
1. Find the line (red)
2. Find the
temperature and
follow up to the
line. (green)
3. Read across to
the y-axis and
this is the answer.
(blue)
4. Since it is above
the -way
between 80 and
90, 87g KNO3 will
dissolve.
Types of Solutions:
Saturated solution: point on the line
Contains maximum amount of solute at given temp
Contains what it should hold
Supersaturated: above the line

Contains more solute than a saturated solution
Contains more than it should hold
Unsaturated: below the line is

Contains less solute than saturated solution
Contains less solute than it could hold

SOLUBILITY PROBLEMS
1.The solubility of a solid is

15g / 100g of water. How
many grams of the solid must
be dissolved in 1 kg of water
to make a saturated solution?
SOLUBILITY PROBLEMS
amount of solute amount of solute

=
amount of solvent amount of solvent
15 g X
------- = ------- X=150g
100g 1000g
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
2. If you have 50g in 500g of water, using
solubility from problem #1, is the solution
saturated?
15g X
X=75g is saturated
------ = ------
No, 50 g is not saturated!
100g 500g
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
3. The solubility of a solute is 5g/100g water at
20 C and 7.5g/100g water at 50 C. How much
of the solute must be dissolved in 250g of water
at 20 C to prepare a saturated solution?
5g X X=12.5g to prepare a
----- = ----- saturated solution
100g 250g
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
4. The solubility of a solute is 5g/100g water at
20 C and 7.5g/100g water at 50 C. If a
saturated solution is prepared using 200g water
at 50 C, then allowed to cool to 20 C:
a. Will it still be saturated?
b. How much solute will precipitate out?
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
Will it still be saturated? @ 50 C:
7.5g X X=15g to prepare a

----- = ----- saturated solution @
100g 200g 50 C
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
Will it still be saturated? Now cool it to 20 C:
5g X X=10g to prepare a
100g 200g 20 C
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
Will it still be saturated? Now cool it to 20 C:
15g > 10g @ 20 C so its

supersaturated!!
SOLUBILITY EXAMP
How much will precipitate out?
5g X X=10g to prepare a
100g 200g 20 C
7.5g X X=15g to prepare a
100g 200g 50 C
SOLUBILITY EXAMPLES
How much will precipitate out?
15g - 10g = 5g will precipitate out!

To do Calculations:
To calculate how much extra has been dissolved:
Extra = Dissolved amt - saturated
in soln (given value) line value @ that temp.
To calculate how much more can be dissolved:

? Much more = saturated - given value
line value @ that temp
Example 1:
How much less KCl is dissolved at 20 oC
than at 60oC in 100g H2O?
Read the line value:
32g at 20oC
Subtract it from the
given value:
45g 32g = 13 g
Example 2:
How much more KCl is required to saturate
the solution if 25g are dissolved at 40 oC?
Read the line value:
40g
Subtract the given
value:
40g 25g = 15 g

What About Gases?
Weve seen that for most solids, the
solubility usually increases as temperature
increases
__________
Does the same hold true for gases??
What does this graph tell us?
Temp Solubility
What type of relationship is
shown between solubility
and water temperature?
Inverse
Gas Solubility
As seen from the graph, as the water
increases the gas
temperature __________
solubility
decreases _________
Looking at the graph very closely
Even at low temperatures,
would you say that gases
are VERY soluble?
Most gases are far
less soluble than
many ionic solids
The Pressures ON!!
Because most gases do not dissolve very
well, solutions are put under high pressures
to increase the gas solubility.
For exampleCO2 from a high-pressure tank
must be forced into the soda
container just before it is sealed
This high pressure is quickly
decreased when the container is
opened
The longer the beverage is open
to the air, the more CO2 escapes (flat)
Factors Affecting Gas Solubility
What relationship is shown in the graph?
Pressure Solubility
What type of relationship
is this? Direct
A linear graph with a positive
slope = direct relationship
Based on what weve discussed, what

factors would you say affect gas solubility?
Temperature
Nature of Solvent
Pressure
Affects on the Environment
Oxygen dissolved in water is necessary for
aquatic wildlife to survive.
What if the temperature of the water
increases?
The amount of dissolved oxygen
_______
Also, as temperature increases, cold-blooded
animals (fish) metabolism increases they
require more oxygen
What causes water temperatures to increase?
summer heat, power plant cooling water, etc.
Can There Be Too Much O2?
YES!!!
When O2 dissolves, so does N2 (both in the
air)
Gas Bubble Trauma: bubbles form in the
blood and tissues of fish
O2 can be used during metabolism
N2 bubbles block capillaries resulting in the

death of the fish
How Does it Happen?
Supersaturation (110% to 124%) of O2 and N2
happens at the base of dams
Released water forms froth, trapping large
quantities of air
