Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a liquid solvent to form a homogeneous solution. The solubility of a substance strongly depends on the used solvent as well as on temperature and pressure. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution. The solvent is generally a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture.[1] One also speaks of solid solution, but rarely of solution in a gas (see vapor-liquid equilibrium instead) The extent of solubility ranges widely, from infinitely soluble (fully miscible[2] ) such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water. The term insoluble is often applied to poorly or very poorly soluble compounds.

How do you precipitate soluble complex?

Add salt to the solution. Change the temperature of the solution. Let the solvent evaporate in increase the concentration of the soluble complex. Change the pH of the solution.


What term means to come out of solution?

The term is "precipitation." It refers to a process where a solid substance forms from a solution due to a chemical reaction or a change in conditions, such as temperature.


Is starch added to water at room temperature a true solution?

No, starch added to water at room temperature forms a colloidal suspension, not a true solution. The starch particles do not fully dissolve in the water but dispersed throughout, leading to a cloudy mixture rather than a clear solution.


What would happen if the temperature incread by 6 degrees?

The answer depends on the temperature of what. An increase of 6 degrees C in the body temperature would, in most cases, prove to be very serious. A similar increase in the temperature of the sun would go unnoticed. An increase of that magnitude in the average surface temperature on earth is likely to be catastrophic for human beings though not all life forms.

Would new igneous rock be formed if Earths temperature did not increase with depth?

No, new igneous rock forms from the melting of pre-existing rock due to an increase in temperature with depth. If Earth's temperature did not increase with depth, there would not be enough heat to melt rocks and form new igneous rock.


When is water saturated?

Any more solute added to the water without changing the temperature forms crystals at the bottom of the solution.
