10.2. Solubility and Concentration http://www.ck12.org
- Describe how temperature affects the solubility of gases, liquids, and solids.
- State the effect of pressure on the solubility of gases.
- What is the concentration of a solution?
Apply Concepts
- Regina made a solution with 50 mL of lemon juice and 200 mL of water. How much solution did she make?
Which is the solute and which is the solvent? What is the concentration of the solution?
Think Critically
- A glass of warm soda goes flat more quickly than a glass of cold soda. Explain why.
- Use data in the graph inFigure10.2 to describe a saturated solution of baking soda and water.
Points to Consider
Some solutions have special properties because they are acids. Orange juice is an example. It contains an acid called
citric acid. It makes orange juice taste sour. Some solutions are bases rather than acids.
- Do you know examples of bases?
- How might bases differ from acids?
