Question

Define the term ‘solubility ’ of a solute in water. If 10 g. of a solute is added to 100 g. of water at 50°C and stirred, it is seen that the total solute dissolves at that temperature giving an unsaturated solution. Is 10 g, the solubility of the solute in water. Give reasons.

Short Note

Solution

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute in grams – that will saturate 100 g of water at 0°C.

Or

Maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solvent at specific temperature.
No, 10 g is not solubility as the solution is unsaturated and not saturated solution. This means more of solute can be added to make it saturated solution.
