How does temperature affect the amount of solute that can dissolve in a amount of solvent?

For the solute to be soluble the solvent must first break the existing bonds between the solute. Increasing heat energy breaks more of the existing bonds of the solute which allows the solvent to make more new bonds with the solute particles. This leads greater solubility of the solute in the solvent.
(I don't think this applies if gas is the solute and solvent)

∙ 12y agoIn short, the higher the temperature of the liquid solvent, the more soluable the solute.
Let's look at something familiar. How about sugar in tea, which is to say sucrose in water?
If you have a cup of hot tea, the molecules of the water are moving much faster due to higher kinetic energy from the heat, so there is more room between them for dissolving the sugar, and it's easy to dissolve two teaspoons of sugar (or even more) completely in the tea without any sugar precipitating out, and the more sugar we dissolve, the sweeter the tea tastes.
Take that same volume of iced tea. Now the water molecules have low kinetic energy due to colder temperature and they are packed together much tighter, and there is less room between them to dissolve the sugar. If we try to dissolve two teaspoons of suger in iced tea, most will precipitate out to the bottom of the glass and no matter how hard we stir, the tea does not get sweeter. This is called a super saturated solution.
If you like your iced tea sweet, make it first as hot tea and dissolve the desired amount of sugar in it. After it is cooled, your sugar solute will not precipitate out because it has already been completely dissolved in the water.

∙ 13y agosolublilty is different for each combinatoin of solute and solvent . the amout of different solutes that are needed to saturate a cretain volume of solvent varies enormously

How many mol CaCO3 can be dissolved in 0.0720 mol HCl?
The amount of substance that will dissolve depends on the temperature and the solvent used. Thus, there is no way to tell how much will dissolve unless such a test is actually carried out (since that concentration of acid is not a standard solvent used in such experiments).
Define concentration of solution?
amount of solute dissolve in liter of solvent
What is The ability of a solute to dissolve in a given amount of solvents?
It is the solubility of the solute in the solvent.
What are the factors that affect how a solute dissolves?
heat, because the particles move further apart.
When a solvent is holding the maximum amount of solute for that given temperature?
A saturated solution
What is the greatest amount of solute that can dissolve in solvent?
The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent has many factors. These include: the strength of the solvent, the temperature of the solvent, whether the solute is soluble or not. There is no definite answer to the question.
What is the greatest amount of solute that can dissolve in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature?
solubility of that salt
What is the amount of a solute that can dissolve in 100 g of solvent is its?
The amount of solute that can dissolve in 100g of solvent will vary as the solubility of different substances vary, but solubility also depends upon other factors such as temperature. For example the solubility for glucose at room temperature is 91g/(100ml).
How much solvent can dissolve a given amount of solute?
This depend on the solute and the specific solvent.
What are the three factors affecting how a given amount of solute will dissolve in a given amount of solvent?
The factors effecting the creation of a solution are: temperature, pressure. and the amounts and relative natures of the solute and solvent.
What 2 things must happen for a solute to dissolve in a solvent?
The bonds between ions or molecules of the solvate must be broken. The solvent must be in a sufficient amount and an adequate temperature.
The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature is its what?
Solubility (in that solvent and at that temperature).
What do you call the substance that easily dissolve in a solvent?
A solute is something that dissolves into a solvent. The solvent is the substance present in the greatest amount (there is always more of it) and the solute is always present in a smaller amount. Together they form a solution.
How do you Increase solubility of liquid in liquid?
Increase temperature. any of the following:- 1) increase the temperature of the Solvent (what you are trying to dissolve in) 2) increase the surface area of the Solute (what you are dissolving) 3) increase the agitation (stirring) and the amount of the solvent.
How do you increase amount of solute to dissolve amount of solvent?
crushing particles of solute
What is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solute at a particular temperature?
This is known as the solubility of the solute in the solvent. When you reach the maximum it is know as the saturation concentration. Adding any more solute will not dissolve in the solvent.
What is the amount of a substance that can dissolve in 100g of solvent?
It depends what the substances are.
