  1. Question 1

    What does solubility describe?

    • AThe rate of evaporation
    • BThe maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature
    • CThe mass of the solvent only
    • DThe boiling point of a solution
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that dissolves under specified conditions.

  2. Question 2

    A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature is called:

    • ADilute
    • BUnsaturated
    • CSaturated
    • DColloidal
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    A saturated solution contains as much dissolved solute as it can hold at that temperature.

  3. Question 3

    An unsaturated solution can:

    • ADissolve more solute at the same temperature
    • BContain no solvent
    • CAlways contain undissolved solute
    • DNever change concentration
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    An unsaturated solution has the capacity to dissolve additional solute at the same temperature.

  4. Question 4

    Which factor is especially important when stating the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

    • AColour of the solvent
    • BTemperature
    • CShape of the container
    • DAtmospheric noise
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The solubility of many solids changes with temperature.

  5. Question 5

    The solubility of most solid solutes in water generally:

    • ADecreases as temperature rises
    • BIncreases as temperature rises
    • CRemains exactly constant
    • DBecomes zero
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    For many solids, higher temperature increases solubility.
