Background Information for Learners Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature. Usually the higher the temperature, the faster a solute can be dissolved in a solvent. When a substance dissolves quickly and easily, it has high solubility. If it does not dissolve casily, it has low solubility. Rate of solubility is the measure of how fast a substance dissolves. There are different factors that affect the rate of solubility: 1. Nature of Solute and Solvent, 2. Temperature, 3. Manner of Stirring, 4. Amount of Solvent and 5. Size of the Solute. Solutions have different level of concentrations depending on the amount o solute dissolves in a solution. A solution with a little amount of solute is called dilutee while a solution with a large amount of solute is called concentrated. Meanwhile, solution that can no longer hold anymore solute at a given temperature is calle saturated. ning Competency cribe the appearance and uses of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. (S61 1
