Chemical composition
What are Solutions and
Suspensions? Why is water a universal solvent?
What are the factors that affect the
solubility of a solute in a solvent? What are the factors that affect the rate of dissolving? What are Acids and Alkalis? Differences between solutions and suspensions Objectives
• Investigate the factors that affect
the solubility of materials (e.g. type of solute/solvent, temperature). Solubility of a substance The solubility of a substance is the maximum amount of the substance that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent (e.g. 100 cm3 of water) at a given temperature (e.g. 25°C).
Differenttypes of solids will
have different solubilities in a solvent. Solubilities of some common substances
