 Water
• It’s a liquid at room temperature
• It is transparent
• It may be salty or not
• Chemical formula: H20 (one molecule contains one atom of oxygen and 2 atoms
of hydrogen)
• Its essential for life
• Freezing point: 0ºC
• Boiling point: 100ºC
• Ice floats in liquid water
 Solubility
Room temperature
Saturated solution: a solution is saturated when it dissolves the maximum amount of
solute it can hold
Solubility: maximum amount of solute which 100 grams of water can hold at a given
temperature.
Why do we have to state the temperature when we define solubility?
Because at more temperature water can contain more solute.
Calculating Solubility
12g. of potassium chloride dissolve in 75g. of water at 60ºC
75g. 12g.
100g. x=100x12
75
A 100g. of water at 60º can dissolve 16g. of potassium sulphate.
