Question

Why is the temperature always specified while stating the solubility of a solute?

Answer 1

• The solubility of most substances depends strongly on the temperature and in the case of gases depends on pressure.
• The solubility of most solid or liquid solutes increases with an increase in temperature.
• A substance that is dissolved in a solution is called a solute.
• The temperature is always specific because the solubility of solute changes with the temperature so to get the required solubility the temperature should be mentioned specifically.
