Lesson: Solubility Chemistry • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to define and measure the solubility of a substance and explain its dependency on solvent, temperature, and pH.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define the solubility of a substance and understand the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated solution,
recall the general rules for the solubility of common substances in water,
explain how the solubility of solids and gases varies with heat,
explain how solvent, pH, particle size, and stirring affect solubility in terms of interactions and acid–base reactions,
define precipitate and predict whether one will form when two solutions are mixed together,
understand and interpret solubility graphs and make predictions using them,
calculate the solubility of a substance from the masses of the solid and water.
