Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.
How does temperature affect solubility?
Solubility increases with temperature (so more solute can dissolve at higher temperatures).

What is a solubility curve?
A solubility curve is a graph that shows how the solubility of a solute (in a particular solvent) changes with temperature.
