How do you express solubility?
To describe the solubility of a gas in a solvent it is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the solvent. It is a percentage of mass.There are different ways to define it. One often used is 'Solubility is the number of grams of solute which dissolve in 100g of solute'. You must also specify the temperature.
Give example of solvent?
A slovent dissolves a solute, a good example would be sugar (the solute) and water (the solvent) mixing together. A example of a solvent would be water, an example of a solute would be salt or sugar.
Does adding a solute to a solvent raise the boiling point?
No, generally that would lower the freezing point, not raise it. Salty water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. And salt can melt ice, which is the same phenomenon.
What is the meaning of the term Concentration of a solution?
In general the amount of a solute (the smaller component) in a solvent (the larger component). The higher the concentration the more solute relative to solvent. This can be expressed many ways such as molarity (moles per liter), molalitity (moles per kilogram of solvent), weight percent, volume percent, etc.
What effect does temperature have on the rate of dissolving?
Increasing the temperature of a solvent speeds up the movement of its particles. This increase cause more solvent particles to bump into the solute. As a result, solute particles break loose and dissolve faster.Temperature often affects solubility rates. Endothermic stuff tends to go faster in warm, and exothermic stuff tends to go faster in cool.
What is the solute part and solvent part of solutions?
sometimes. All solutions have at least one solute and one solvent. While water often does act as a solvent, some solutions have other solvents. Solutions where the solute is dissolved in water belong to a special group of solutions called aqueous solutions.
Does the Solvent dissolve in water?
water is the universal solventthe solute is the substance that gets dissolved in the water.however water isn't always the solvent, but most often it isto answer your question no, the solute dissolves in the water which is the solvent
How do you tell the difference between a solute and solvent?
A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution. A solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. For example, salt water contains the solute salt and the solvent water, and the salt dissolves in the water.
How does stirring faster the solubility of solutes in a solvent?
Apex - It makes the water molecules bump into the solute more. ^.^
How temperatures affects the rate of dissolving?

As a result, solute particles break loose and dissolve faster.Temperature often affects solubility rates. Endothermic stuff tends to go faster in warm, and exothermic stuff tends to go faster in cool.
What is the molality of solution?
The number of moles of a solute per kilogram of solvent. (Apex)

What other solutes are often added to a cup of coffee?
A solute is something which is dissolved in a solvent, which creates a solution (sounds confusing, but spending a little time remembering this can help a lot in the long run!) So, a cup of coffee is a solution made up of instant coffee powder and water. The water is the solvent, and the coffee powder is the solute. Anything added to the water, such as sugar, is also a solute, as it is dissolved in the solvent. This might sound confusing, but basically the water is the solvent, and anything added to it which disolves is a solute! Hope this helps!
Does adding a solute to a solvent raise the boiling point?
No, generally that would lower the freezing point, not raise it. Salty water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. And salt can melt ice, which is the same phenomenon.
In a solution of salt and water which component is the solute?
A solute is the substance that the solvent is being dissolved in. For some things (e.g. two liquids) it's a bit ambiguous. Typically if there's a need to specify which is which the predominant component is designated the solvent, though if water is one of the components then it is often considered to be the solvent even when it's not the primary ingredient. Rubbing alcohol, for example, is usually labeled as a 70% solution (of 2-propanol in water) and not as a 30% solution of water in 2-propanol.
What is a solvent?
A solvent is a liquid that dissolves a solute. The solvent is the component of a solution that is present in greater amount. Perhaps the most common solvent in everyday life is water. Many other solvents are organic compounds, such as benzene, tetrachloroethylene, or turpentine.
