Topic: Factors Affecting the Solubility of a Substance
(Grade 7)
I. Multiple- Choice Test
Directions: Circle the letter of the best answer.
1. Why do soft drinks taste flat when they are left
open in a long time?
a. When the bottle is opened, the solubility of O 2
increases and the taste is lost.
b. When the bottle is opened, the solubility of O 2
decreases and the taste is lost.
c. When the bottle is opened, the solubility of CO 2
decreases and the taste is lost.
d. When the bottle is opened, the solubility of CO 2
increases and the taste is lost.
2. Which of the following is true about the effect of
the nature of the solute and solvent on solubility?
a. The size of solute molecule must be the same
with the solvent
b. The polarity of the solute molecules must be
the same with the solvent.
c. The polarity of the solvent must be different
with the solute.
d. The mass of the solute molecule must equal to
the mass of solvent.
3. KNO3 is a solid solute. Which of the following is
possible with KNO3?
a. Increasing the temperature increases the
solubility
b. Decreasing the pressure increases the solubility
c. Increasing the particle size increases solubility
d. Decreasing the temperature increase the
solubility.
4. Water contains dissolved oxygen that fish can
breathe. Which factor would NOT increase the
amount of oxygen in the water of a fish aquarium?
a. Place the water in a shallower container
b. Agitate the water
c. Place the water under brighter light
d. Cool down the water
5. Which factor would NOT affect the solubility of
sugar in water?
a. Heat the water and sugar
b. Grind the sugar to make it finer
c. Covering the container
d. Stir the water and sugar
II. Choose one (1) factor that affects solubility of a
material and explain how it affects solubility.
(5pts.)
