Solubility in water

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– define the terms: saturated solution, solubility, crystallisation, solubility curve
– describe the dissolution of gases, liquids and solids in water and discuss the effect of various physical factors on this process
– use a solubility curve to find the number of grams of a solute that will be dissolved at a specific temperature and perform simple calculations using the data obtained from this graph.
