Does the solubility of a substance change with temperature? Explain with the help of an example.
Solution.
Yes, the solubility of a substance depends on its temperature. The solubility of solids in liquids usually increases on increasing the temperature and decreases on decreasing the temperature. The solubility of gases in liquids usually decreases on increasing the temperature and increases on decreasing the temperature.
For example, one can dissolve more sugar in hot water than in cold water.
