If u increase the pressure on a liquid or gas, u are forcing the molecules closer to each other in a space smaller than what it usually exists as. When the molecules come closer the spaces between them are highly reduced due to which there is less space for the molecules of solids or other liquids to fit into the spaces as it usually can. Hence it seems that the liquid or gas cannot dissolve a certain solid/liquid with the rate which it used to(it is lesser). hence u say that the solubility has reduced.

Pressure= 1/solubility

What will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

Heating or stirring will normally increase the rate at which a soluble solid dissolves in liquid. Heating will also normally increase the amount of solute that can be retained in solution.


Does stirring affect the rate of dissolving?

Yes, in fact stirring does increase the rate of dissolving [or dissolution] of solids.


What effect does temperature have on the rate dissolving?

Temperature afftects the solubility...see Henrys Law and chemical kinetics

What things can affect solubility?

effect of temperature on solubility - solid in liquid-most solid become more soluble in a liquid as the temperature rises. effect of pressure on solubility -pressure changes have little effect on solubility if the solute is a liquid or a solid.
