Solubility Curve Worksheet

This document provides instructions and questions for a solubility curve worksheet. Students are asked to use provided solubility curves to determine: - The mass of different solutes that will dissolve in 100mL of water at given temperatures. - Whether solutions containing specific masses of solutes dissolved in 100mL of water at various temperatures are saturated or unsaturated. - The solubility of different compounds at different temperatures from the curves. - To graph their own solubility curve data and use the curves to analyze saturated and unsaturated solutions.

Solubility Curve Worksheet

You'll notice that for most substances, solubility increases as temperature increases. As discussed earlier in solutions
involving liquids and solids typically more solute can be dissolved at higher temperatures. Can you find any exceptions
on the graph?____________________

Here's an example of how to read the graph. Find the curve for KClO3.

At 30°C approximately 10g of KClO3 will dissolve in 100g of water. If the temperature is increased to 80°C,
approximately ______ of the substance will dissolve in 100g (or 100mL) of water.

Directions: Use the graph to answer the following questions. REMEMBER UNITS!

1) What mass of solute will dissolve in 100mL of water at the following temperatures?
a. KNO3 at 70°C = ____________
b. NaCl at 100°C= ____________
c. NH4Cl at 90°C= ____________
d. Which of the above three substances is most soluble in water at 15°C. = ____________

2) Types of Solutions

On a solubility curve, the lines indicate the concentration of a __________________ solution - the maximum amount of
solute that will dissolve at that specific temperature.

Values on the graph ____________ a curve represent unsaturated solutions - more solute could be dissolved at that
temperature.

Label the following solutions as saturated or unsaturated. If unsaturated, write how much more solute can be dissolved
in the solution.

Solution Saturated or Unsaturated? If unsaturated: How much more


solute can dissolve in the solution?
a solution that contains 70g of NaNO3
at 30°C (in 100 mL H2O)

a solution that contains 50g of NH4Cl at


50°C (in 100 mL H2O)

a solution that contains 20g of KClO3 at


50°C (in 100 mL H2O)

a solution that contains 70g of KI at 0°C


(in 100 mL H2O)
