Solubility Lab Report

Solubility is when a chemical substance that is a gas, solid, or liquid that is called solute dissolves in a solvent that is also a gas, solid, or liquid to form a solution. To determine the solubility of a substance it depends on the physical and chemicals properties of both the solute and the solvent as well as pressure, temperature, and the pH of the solution. ( Solubility, Wikipedia 2016)

Solubility is the amount of the substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent. In a saturated solution is when the dissolved solute is equal to the amount of the undissolved solute. A saturated solution of an ionic compound is slightly different from that of a covalent compound like sucrose. In a ionic compound it dissolves and exist in solution as ions, but in a covalent compound instead of ions there are molecules (Solubility). Solubility can be confused with the ability to dissolve a substance but in solubility the solution may also occur because of a chemical reaction. For example zinc dissolves in hydrochloric acid as a result of chemical reaction releasing hydrogen gas in a displacement reaction The zinc ions are soluble in the acid.

Solubility is measured in the terms of the maximum amount of solute that is dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The result is

Water can be both an acid and a base. It can be considered an acid in some reactions and a base in others. Water can even react with itself to form acids and bases. It happens in really small amounts, so it won't change your experiments at all. Most of the time, the positive and negative ions in distilled water are in equal amounts and cancel each other out. Those special ions in solution acidic or basic. There are so many acids in your body you have amino acids, in fruit there is citric acid, vinegar is an acid. But when you mix baking soda with water is becomes a basic solution. (Acid and Bases are everywhere,
