Because when a substance gets hot the molecules spread apart allowing more room for other substances to be mixed in to the solution. for example if you mix water (H20) with table salt (NaCl) it will fall to the bottom of the liquid unless agitated (stirred) or heated because both of these actions cause molecules to move and spread.

The solubility of most solids as the temperature increases?

The solubility of most solids increases as temperature increases. This is because as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules also increases, allowing solvent molecules to break apart solute molecules more easily. However, there are exceptions where solubility may decrease with temperature due to the dissolution process being endothermic.


How temperaturature effects the solubility of most solid?

Generally, solubility of solid compounds in water increases with temperature, as higher temperatures provide more energy for solvent molecules to break apart the solute particles. However, different solids can have different solubility patterns with temperature. Some solids may become less soluble as temperature increases due to changes in heat balance between the dissolution and crystallization processes.


What is the relationship between solubility of a gas and a solid vs. temperature.?

When the temperature increase, the kinetic energy of the solid,liquid and gas particles increase. Therefor collisions between solute and solvent particles increase. So solubility of solids increase with temperature. But solubility of gasses decrease.


Why is temperature usually stated when solubility's and densities are given?

Solubility and density are both temperature dependent. As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases and thus things become more soluble in solvents. Density decreases with increased temperature due to greater expansion.


Why does solubility of alum in water change with temperature?

The water molecules spread out as temperature increases, which allows the alum to dissolve more readily. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the water molecules become more compact which causes the alum to be less soluble.

What will the solubilty of most liquids do as temperature increases?

The solubility increases as the temperature increases. This is due to the fact that there is more energy available the higher the heat.


Does the solubility increase as the temperature increases?

Perhaps you mean the solubility of substances in water. Most solids have increasing solubility in water with increase in temperature, but certainly not all of them. Some solids e.g. Cerium Sulphate have decreased solubility in water at higher temperatures, while some solids show increasing solubility up to a certain temperature, above which the solubility decreases, such as Sodium Sulphate. The solubility of common salt, Sodium Chloride, is almost unaffected by temperature. Gases generally have lower solubility in water at higher temperatures.


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

solubility generally increases with a temperature increase


Does the solubility of borax increase or decrease as temperature increases?

The solubility of borax typically increases as temperature increases due to the endothermic nature of the dissolution process. This means that more borax can dissolve in a given amount of water at higher temperatures.


Does solubility increase or decrease if temperature increases?

As the temperature increases:The solubility of a solid in a liquid increasesThe solubility of a liquid in a liquid increasesThe solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases(The solubility of liquids and solids increase as temperature increases, while the solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases.)


Does solubility decrease as temperature increase and why does helium show minimal change?

In general, solubility decreases as temperature increases for gases due to the decrease in gas solubility with higher temperatures. Helium shows minimal change in solubility with temperature because it is very nonpolar and does not interact strongly with water molecules, making its solubility relatively insensitive to temperature changes.


How does increase in temperature affect the solubility of a gas?

When you increase the temperature the solubility of a solute in a solution increases. This is due to the fact that heat is required to break the bonds that are holding the molecules in the solid together. Note that the opposite is true for gases, though.
