Solubility and Solubility Curves

Focuses on the definition of solubility, factors affecting it, calculations, and the interpretation of solubility curves.

What students will learn

  • By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
  • Define solubility and state its standard SI units (g dm⁻³ and mol dm⁻³).
  • Differentiate clearly between unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions.
  • Explain the three main factors affecting the solubility of solutes in solvents.
  • Calculate the solubility of a given solute in both g dm⁻³ and mol dm⁻³ from experimental data.
