Solubility of covalent bonds is usually high to low. Solubility for Ionic compounds is usually high.


The solubility of most solids as the temperature increases?

For most solids, as the temperature increases the solubility increases.


Is solubility a hydrogen bonding?

Based on the grammar of your question, you have no idea what solubility is. Solubility- the degree to which a substance can dissolve in a solvent(usually water). Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force of attraction that decreases relative solubility.

How will the solubility of anhydrous sodium sulfate vary with temperature?

Sodium sulfate is unusual in that its solubility becomes largely independent of temp at 49.7 °C( meaning instead of increasing solubility as temp rises it forms a plateau and actually decreases slightly) See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a direct link to a graph of the solubility vs. temperature, as described above.


The solubility of gases does what as temperature increases?

It usually decreases.


What is meant by solubility?

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to make a solution with another substance (solvent). The solvent is usually a liquid, and the solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas. The solute is usually dissolved into the liquid to create the solution.


Does the amount of sodium nitrate determine its solubility?

Solubility is described by the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure. The 'Common Ion Effect' can complicate the calculations somewhat if there are more than one solute present in the solution. In any event, how much you have does not determine the solubility, it describes the solubility. What you are asking is akin to asking if your height determines how tall you are. What determines how tall you are are things like hereditary, diet, and age. What determines solubility are things like ionic attraction, temperature and such.


What is the definition of hot fluids?

Hot fluids could mean a heated sunstance, liquid or gas.


Does solubility of a substance in a solvent usually increases with an increase in temperature?

Solubility increases by adding more solvent. That is, the substance that the other is being dissolved into. For example, if mixing sugar and water, you would add more water to increase solubility.
