Interpreting 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 below the curve line represent solutions
- more solute could be dissolved at that temperature.
Label the following solutions as saturated or unsaturated.
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)
