Heterogeneous and
Homogeneous(Solutions)
Mixtures
• described as saturated if it
has a high concentration of
solute
• described as supersaturated if
contains more dissolved solute
than normally possible
Solubility
• the amount of solute that dissolves in a certain
amount of a solvent at a given temperature and
pressure to produce a saturated solution
• influenced by:
What factors affect the
rate of solubility ?
• Polarity of the solvent- “like
dissolves like.” Solution formation
happens when the solute and the
solvent are either both polar or both
nonpolar.
• Temperature- solubility of solids
increases as temperature increases.
• Pressure- increasing pressure in a
gas increases its solubility in a liquid.
