A solution is prepared by
dissolving a solute in a solvent
If one keeps adding solute, then a point is eventually reached where ____. If additional solute is added, the solute will sit on the bottom or float on the top of the solution, but it won't dissolve. A solution at equilibrium that will not dissolve any more solute is called ____. The visual evidence for a saturated solution is the presence of ____.
no further solute will dissolve, a saturated solution, undissolved solute
in a saturated solution
1. No additional solute can be dissolved without pertubing the equilibrium
2. The dissolving and precipitation reactions are in equilibrium, so the net concentration of dissolved solute does not change
The solubility product (Ksp) is ____. Specifically, the solubility product is
an equilibrium constant, the equilibrium constant for a dissolving equilibrium in a saturated solution
Because the solubility is ____, it can be changed by changing the _____
an equilibrium constant, temperature
The solubility (also called the solubility limit) is a ____ that (1)____(2)
concentration, is the maximum concentration of a particular solute that will stay dissolved in a solution at equilibrium, is represented by the extent of reaction, x, in the ICE table for a dissolving reaction
The solubility can be changed by changing _____ or _____
the temperature, the concentration of other species in the solution
temperature
Higher temperatures generally increase the solubility of solids
Lower temperatures generally increase the solubility of gases
concentration of other species in the solution
species that react with a dissolving generally increase solute solubility
common ions generally decrease solute solubility
If you swirl a saturated solution, then the solution and undissolved solid will temporarily mix, making a cloudy mixture of solution and undissolved solid that is called a
slurry or sol
