Question

26 Temperature affects the solubility of solids in liquids. Explain.

Answer 1

Solubility: It is the ability of a substance, the solute, to form a solution with another substance

• Solubility is directly affected by temperature. The bulk of ionic solids can be turned into solutions faster by increasing the temperature.
• As the temperature rises, the solid particles travel quicker, increasing the likelihood that they will interact with more solvent particles. As a result, the rate at which a solution appears increases.
• The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent is also affected by temperature. In general, as the temperature rises, more solute particles dissolve.

Final answer Solubility increases with an increase in temperature.
