  1. Ari seals 0.6 L of water under CO₂ at 3 atm and 25 °C. Water holds 1.45 g of CO₂ per liter for each atm. How many grams leave when it opens to 1 atm?

  2. Bo seals 2 L of water under CO₂ at 3 atm and 25 °C. Water holds 1.45 g of CO₂ per liter for each atm. How many grams leave when it opens to 1 atm?

  3. Esme seals 0.6 L of water under CO₂ at 4 atm and 25 °C. Water holds 1.45 g of CO₂ per liter for each atm. How many grams leave when it opens to 1 atm?

  4. Read this first

    Solubility in 100 g of water (rounded textbook values)

    temperature (°C)KNO₃ (g)NaCl (g)NaHCO₃ (g)
    013366.9
    2032369.6
    40643612.7
    601103716.5
    801693819.7
    1002463923.6
  5. A saturated KNO₃ solution with 100 g of water at 60 °C cools to 40 °C with no crystals. Jun adds a seed crystal. How much solid forms?

    • 110 g, the whole amount that was dissolved before the solution cooled
    • 64 g, the amount that the 40 °C limit lets stay dissolved in the water
    • 46 g: the solution holds 110 g and the 40 °C limit is only 64 g
  6. A diver breathes air at 3 atm underwater, so extra nitrogen dissolves in the body. What happens on a fast rise to 1 atm, Milo?

    • The limit falls, the extra nitrogen leaves solution, and bubbles can form in the tissues
    • The nitrogen dissolves faster, so the body holds even more of it
    • Nothing changes, since rising does not alter how much gas dissolved
  7. A bottle holds CO₂ dissolved under 4 atm. It opens to 1 atm at the same temperature. What fraction of the dissolved gas must leave, Noah?

    • All of it, because the pressure falls to the outside value
    • One quarter, the part that stays dissolved
    • Three quarters: at 1 atm only a quarter of the original amount can stay dissolved
  8. Two bottles from one batch hold the same CO₂, one at 5 °C and one at 30 °C. Both open at 1 atm. Which loses more CO₂, Pia?

    • The warm one: warm water holds less CO₂ at 1 atm, so more leaves
    • They lose the same: both are at 1 atm once they are open
    • The cold one: it holds more CO₂ at 1 atm, so more of it can escape
  9. Ren says stirring lets a solution hold more sugar, since a stirred cup of 5 g sugar cleared sooner. Sugar's limit is about 200 g per 100 g water. Verdict?

    • Supported: the stirred cup dissolved its sugar sooner, so it can hold more
    • Supported: stirring raises the limit when a cup clears faster
    • Not supported: 5 g is far below the limit, so only speed changed
  10. Solubility in 100 g or 100 mL of water (rounded textbook values and HSDB)

    temperature (°C)KNO₃ (g per 100 g)NaCl (g per 100 g)CO₂ (mL per 100 mL)
    01336171
    20323688
    601103736
  11. Tala claims hot water always dissolves more of any substance. Which data point in the table counters the claim?

    • NaCl: it barely changes, from 36 g to 37 g, so heat does not matter
    • CO₂: 171 mL at 0 °C falls to 36 mL at 60 °C
    • KNO₃: it rises from 13 g at 0 °C to 110 g at 60 °C
  12. Zee adds 40 g of NaCl to 100 g of water at 25 °C. 36.0 g dissolves and 4.0 g stays. Zee says stirring longer will dissolve the rest. Verdict?

    • Yes: given enough stirring, solids dissolve completely
    • No: 36.0 g is all that dissolves at 25 °C, and stirring cannot add more
    • Yes: the leftover 4.0 g is too small to be a limit

About this worksheet

Solubility curves and dissolving rate. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can read a solubility table or curve, and find the rise between two temperatures and the rise per degree.
  • I can explain why solids like baking soda dissolve more when warm while gases like CO₂ dissolve less, as in warm soda water.
  • I can tell what speeds dissolving (stirring, heat, smaller pieces) from what changes the limit.

Standard: none (TX)

Words to know

solubility curve: A graph of solubility against temperature

rate of dissolving: How fast a solute dissolves, not how much

surface area: How much of a solid touches the solvent

Common mistakes

Your child used the table amount as if the sample held exactly 100 g of water. The table is per 100 g, so scale it by the water mass.

Your child found how much dissolves, not how much stays solid. Read what the question asks for.

Your child found how much stays dissolved at the cold temperature, not how much crystallizes. The crystals are the part that no longer fits.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with read solubility curves; what speeds dissolving?

Your child used the table amount as if the sample held exactly 100 g of water. The table is per 100 g, so scale it by the water mass.

Are these 10th grade science worksheets free to print?

Yes. All 6 printable versions at each level are free to print, with the answer key, and no account is needed.
