Chemical Solubility Concept

Solubility can be defined as the maximum mass of solute that can be dissolved in 1 liter of solvent.

00:00Here is a tube containing water.

00:04A number of sodium chloride salts are put into the water.

00:08Then this solution is stirred.

00:16After a while, all the salts dissolve into the water.

00:30In another tube, a number of silver chloride salts are put into the water, then stirred.

00:42After a while, almost all the salts settle at the bottom of the tube.

01:00A number of salts with the same mass are put into the same volume of water.

01:04It turns out that not all salts dissolve in the water.

01:08Sodium chloride is more soluble than silver chloride.

01:22From here the term solubility is known.

01:26Solubility can be defined as the maximum mass of solute that can dissolve in 1 liter of solvent.

01:40Based on experimental data, the solubility of sodium chloride salt is around 375 g per liter.

01:48This means that 1 liter of water can dissolve a maximum of 375 g per liter.

01:56This means that 1 liter of water can dissolve a maximum of 375 g of sodium chloride.

02:00The solubility of silver chloride salt is 0.00186 g per liter.

02:08This means that 1 liter of water can dissolve a maximum of 1.86 mg of silver chloride.

02:12This means that 1 liter of water can dissolve a maximum of 1.86 mg of silver chloride.

02:16Yup, hopefully this tutorial can provide an idea of what solubility is.
