If two solutions have the same amount of solvent, in which case will more solute dissolve?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The substance with higher solubility
When solvent amount, temperature, and other relevant conditions are the same, the solute with the greater solubility can dissolve in a greater amount before saturation is reached. Solubility is a property of the solute–solvent system, not of the colour or name. A smaller container may restrict physical capacity, but it does not increase the equilibrium solubility of the substance.
