How can the solubility of a substance be increased? (three ways)
How can the solubility of a substance be increased? (three ways)
- Temperature:
By changing the temperature we can increase the soluble property of a solute. Generally, water dissolves solutes at 20∘C or 100∘C. Sparingly soluble solid or liquid substances can be dissolved completely by increasing the temperature. But in case of gaseous substance, temperature inversely influences solubility i.e. as the temperature increases gases expand and escapes from their solvent.
- Forces and Bonds:
Like dissolves in like. The type of intermolecular forces and bonds vary among each molecule. The chances of solubility between two unlike substances are more challengeable than the like substances. For example, water is polar solvent where a polar solute like ethanol is easily soluble.
- Pressure:
Gaseous substances are much influenced than solids and liquids by pressure. When the partial pressure of gas increases, the chance of its solubility is also increased. A soda bottle is an example of where CO2 is bottled under high pressure.
