Solubility test questions - WJEC

1

What term is given to a substance that can dissolve in a particular liquid?

2

In a solution, what term is given to the liquid?

3

In a solution, what term is given to the solid that has dissolved?

4

For most solid solutes, what happens to the solubility as the temperature increases?

5

Why is it important to quote solubility at a given temperature?

6

What will happen to a hot saturated solution of copper(II) sulfate as the temperature decreases?

7

Using the graph below, what is the mass of potassium nitrate that would form when 50 g of a saturated solution at 80°C was cooled to 40°C?

Line chart with axes labelled Solubility (g per 100 g of water) and Temperature (degrees c. At 80 degrees c the solubility of KNO3 is 152, and at 40 degrees c the solubility is 60.

8

How do you describe the change in solubility of sodium sulfate and sodium hydrogenarsenate at temperatures above 45°C?

Line chart with axes labelled Solubility (g per 100 g of water) and Temperature (degrees c). 2 lines are labelled sodium hydrogenarsenate and sodium sulfate.

9

Which substance’s solubility changes most with temperature?

Line chart with axes labelled Solubility (g per 100 g of water) and Temperature (degrees c). 3 lines are labelled Z, X and Y. Z is rising slightly, X is rising sharply, and Y is rising exponentially.

10

Why does the temperature scale on a solubility graph range from 0°C to 100°C?
