Solubility Curves | Properties of Matter | Chemistry | FuseSchool

Learn the basics about solubility curves as a part of the overall properties of matter topic.

Solubility curves are a graphical representation of the solubility of a certain salt over a temperature range.

Copper (II) sulfate is a lot more soluble than potassium sulfate, so it has a higher solubility in water.

This is actually a physical property of a substance – much like boiling points and melting points.

The solubility of a salt in water is usually measured as grams of salt per 100g of water.

Solubility usually increases with increasing temperature. This observation is only applicable to a solid dissolving in a liquid - the reverse is observed when dissolving a gas in a liquid.

We can plot solubility as a function of temperature to give a solubility curve.

Respect for people who can teach such difficult topics in minutes

[rahnumaahmed]

Thank you very much, I have watched the video 2 times and now I have a very clear understanding on it.

My teacher making me watch this and i understand nothing plz help 😍

[joshualyttle]

coool need more subs man i cant wait till u a top educator like crash course and such

[ssnaut]

Currently having to watch this while the coronavirus canceled school for 2 weeks 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is it ok if you explain how you completed the y-axis from the prac? Is it grams of the salt dissolved in 100g of water? How did you work that it was that much that dissolved by weighing it? Doesn't the law of conservation state that no mass shall be gained or lost in a reaction (in a closed system)?

[junaidhoosen]

Thank you for explaining I found this very helpful

[musicmade]

Thankyou so much. This video was short but worth it👍🏻

[genny]

Or what? It will become a '...' or come out of solution? Or was that just a pause, I'm slightly confused.

[willstudent]

How can we tell when a salt is saturated based on the graph or info on temperature and grams?

[Sxsuke_]

SALUTE TO TEACHERS WHO CLEAR OUR DOUBTS❤❤😇

[carleciamills]

How to find the mass on the solubility curve ?

[piyushsen]

heartly, thanque soo much
plz make more video

[amyisnotokay]

Im tempted to cry rn i dont understand this

[Epicdog]

Lol if poeple from my school are watfching this rn than hello xd

[mellaniphe]

Teachers literally throwing videos expecting me to understand everything😢

[alexisamc]

I watched this about 20 times and still don't understand one thing

[tango]

I'm in corona virus lockdown 2. 8 weeks of crap. Although not as bad as the 6-7 months off last year eek! XD

[jmli_vibes]

Who is here because of online school😒😒😒

[beastgamer]

My teacher is making me watch this and i dont no what is going on
