Question

What information you can get by solubility of a solute?

• A. The quantity of solvent
  
• B. The quantity of solute
• C. The temperature of the solution
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

The solubility of a solute gives the following information:

(A) The quantity of solvent

(B) The quantity of solute

(C) The temperature of the solution

The solubility of a solute can be expressed as the quantity of solute (in grams or moles) present in a given quantity of solvent (volume in L) at a given temperature.

We can also say that the amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at a particular temperature is called its solubility. So, we get information about amount of solute/solvent and temperature from the solubility.
