Best Answer

There is no general answer to this question. It depends on the solvent and the solute. For example, CaCO3, the main component of chalk and limestone is in fact more soluble in cold water whereas NaCl or common table salt is more soluble at a higher temperature. You can test this in your kitchen with tums (CaCO3), some salt, and your stove.

What happens to the solubility of gases as the temperature increase?

solubility generally increases with a temperature increase


How is temperature related to the solubility of a solid solute Why?

At the molecular level, temperature is inversely proportional to solubility. As the temperature of a liquid increases, the solubility of gases in that liquid decreases.


Is temperature directly or indirectly related to the solubility of sugar in water?

Temperature is directly proportional to solubility, which means that an increase in temperature will also increase the solubility. Sugar will dissolve faster in hot water.


How is solution related to solubility?

Generally speaking, the more solute in the solution, the less the (remaining) solubility.


How is solubility related to temperature?

This relationship is most often observed when dealing with liquid solutions. The solubility of solids and liquids in a liquid solvent tends to improve as the solvent's temperature increases, while the solubility of gases in the same type of solvent generally decreases as its temperature rises.


How does the solubility of salt change with temperature?

As the temperature increases, the solubility of salt (sodium chloride) will increase. At 20 degrees C, the solubility of sodium chloride is 35.76g/100mL water and at 100 degrees C, the solubility is 39.1g/100mL water. Refer to the related links for more information.


How do you find solubility of potassium chlorate?

You use a solubility table. Potassium chlorate is soluble in water. Refer to the related links for a solubility table.

How is polarity related to surface tension?

Water cohesion causes surface tension related to solubility. Polarity is also related to solubility in that polar substances dissolve better in polar solvents, such as water.


How is recrystallization temperature related to the grain size?

Grain size would generally increase during recrystallization with time spent at optimal crystallization temperature.


How is solubility of oxygen affected by temperature?

The solubility of oxygen in a solvent (water) increases as the temperature decreases.This was studied many years ago resulting in Henry's Law. This is expressed as:p=kcand relates the partial pressure of the gas over the water (p) in atmospheres and a temperature related constant "k" (for example, 769.2 L•atm/mol for O2 in water at 298o K). The "c" is the concentration of the dissolved gas in the liquid (mol/L).


What are the difference from the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds?

In general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds.Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
