Question

Name the factors that increase the solubility of a solution.

Answer 1

Solubility-

• It is the dissolving capacity of solute in a solvent.
• When a maximum of solute (in g) dissolve in a given solvent (in ml), at a specific temperature.

Example-

• Let dissolve 5 g sugar in 100 ml of water.
• Sugar will completely dissolve in a given amount of water at a specific temperature.
• If we add more sugar it will not dissolve.
• It will remain at the bottom of the container.

Factors that increase the solubility of a solution:

• Stirring-
  • It means the continuous moving of particles.
  • It increases the solubility of a given solution.
• Temperature- By increasing temperature, solubility increases.
  • Example- In the above case of mixing sugar into the water.
  • If water is going to boil, the remaining settled sugar can dissolve in the water.
• Size of particles- If the size of particles decreases, the solubility of the substance increase.
