Solubility
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Solubility is the subject that examines the maximum amount that a substance can dissolve in a given solvent. This area covers solubility rules, solubility equilibrium, factors affecting solubility (temperature, pressure, common ion effect), solubility product (Ksp), and practical applications. The TYT focuses on basic solubility, while the AYT focuses on complex equilibrium calculations. The current 2025 curriculum also covers environmental chemistry and recycling technologies. Learning this topic lays the foundation for chemical purity and industrial processes.
