2 (C) Solubility and

Rate of Solubility
 Solubility
The maximum amount of the solute that can dissolve in 100 ml
of solvent at a specific temperature.
Factors affecting the Rate of Solubility
Rate How fast?

3 Factors
• Temperature of solvent
• Rate of stirring
• Size of solute

 Factors affecting the Rate of Solubility
Temperature of solvent

• The salt in beaker L dissolves faster.

• The higher the temperature of solvent, the higher the rate of solubility.

Rate of stirring

• The salt in beaker L dissolves faster.

• The higher the rate of stirring, the higher the rate of solubility.

 Factors affecting the Rate of Solubility
Size of Solute

• The sugar in beaker K dissolves faster.

• The smaller the size of solute, the higher the rate of solubility.
Factors affecting the Rate of Solubility

• High temperature and rate

of stirring of solvent cause
the particles to move
rapidly.
• This causes the particles of
solvent and solute to fill up
the spaces between them
faster.
 Factors affecting the Rate of Solubility

• The smaller the size of

solute, the bigger the total
surface area that is exposed
to the solvent particles.
• This allows the solute to
dissolve faster in the
solvent.
