Definitions:
Solution: homogeneous mixture
Solute: the component that is dissolved in solvent--usually in smaller amount
Solvent: medium (often water) into which solutes are mixed--usually in greater amount
Concentration: describes how much solute there is--
Dilute: small amount of solute—
Concentrated: large amount of solute—
Saturated: contains as much solute as can be dissolved—
Unsaturated: can dissolve more solute—
Supersaturated: more than saturated, unstable—
Definitions: Solubility
1. IUPAC defines solubility as the analytical composition of a saturated solution
expressed as a proportion of a designated solute in a designated solvent.
2. Solubility in a qualitative term may be defined as the spontaneous interaction may
be defined as the spontaneous interaction of two or more substances to from a
homogeneous molecular dispersion
3. In quantitative term, solubility may be defined in following ways:
“Grams of solute that will dissolve in 100 grams of solvent to make saturated solution
at a stated temperature”.
Or
“Grams of solute that will dissolve in 100 ml of solvent to make saturated solution at a
stated temperature”.
4. According to B.P. (British Pharmacopoeia);
“No. of parts of solvent required to dissolve one part of solute at a stated temperature”.

Types of Solution
➢ Saturated
➢ Solvent holds as much solute as is possible at that
temperature.
➢ Dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with
solid solute particles.
➢ Unsaturated Saturated
➢ Less than the maximum amount of solute for that temperature is
dissolved in the solvent.
➢ Supersaturated
➢ Solvent holds more solute than is normally possible at that
temperature.
➢ These solutions are unstable; crystallization can usually be stimulated
by adding a “seed crystal” or scratching the side of the flask.
Solubility Rules
1. Not all ionic compounds are water soluble.
2. There are some general rules for compounds that are water
soluble:
➢ Group 1 ionic compounds and ammonium (NH4+) are
always water soluble
➢ Group 17 ionic compounds are water soluble except when
paired with Ag, Pb, and Hg ions
Molarity
➢ Relates the volume of solution to the quantity of solute that it
contains.
Moles solute
Molarity = Liters solution
Molality(m)
mol of solute
m= kg of solvent
Because both moles and mass do not change with temperature,
molality (unlike molarity) is not temperature dependent.
