Question

Solubility is the amount of the .................... present in the saturated solution at a particular temperature.

• A. solute
• B. solvent
• C. dispersed phase
• D. dispersed medium

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

solute

At any particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving, is said to be a saturated solution. In other words, when no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution. The amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at this temperature is called its solubility.
