Sodium sulfate is highly soluble in water, but insoluble in most organic solvents. If you want to increase its solubility in water (as for any salt), you can heat the solution or remove one of the products (sodium ions or sulfate ions) from solution. I can't think of any insoluble sodium salts, but barium sulfate (BaSO4) is insoluble in water. Thus, adding barium chloride (or some other soluble barium salt) will remove sulfate from the equilibrium (due to BaSO4 precipitation) and increase the solubility of sodium sulfate.

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.


Sodium sulfate and hydrochloric acid soluble or insoluble physical or chemical?

Sodium sulfate is soluble in water. Hydrochloric acid is a water solution of HCl. Solubility is considered a physical property.


Why does strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfate is added?

Sodium sulphate increases the concentration of sulphate ions. So strontium sulphate solubility decreases.


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.


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.
