The salt which has the least solubility in water is Mercury sulfide. It is ridiculously insoluble. Not even a single atom will dissolve.

I believe that all the mercurous salts are insoluble, but that conflicts with the dictum that all nitrates are soluble. And so mercurous nitrate is sparingly soluble.

presumably this is the only mercurous salt that is at all soluble.

What happens to the solubility of salts when temperature is lowered or raised?

When temperature is lowered, the solubility of most salts decreases because the solubility of solids generally decreases with decreasing temperature. Conversely, when temperature is raised, the solubility of most salts increases as the solubility of solids typically increases with increasing temperature.


How does temperature affect solubility of salts?

Increasing the temperature the solubilty of salts in water is higher.


If you were to raise the temperature of the solvent could the concentration levels of the solution increase?

Solubility of any solvent is usually temperature dependent and yes, the solubility of most salts increase when the temperature is increased. However the solubility of some salts also decreases with increasing temperature.


When dissolved salts?

Salts can be soluble or insoluble. The solubility depends principally on solvent, temperature, pressure rtc.


Do all salts hae the same solubility?

No, the solubility of salts can vary based on their chemical composition and structure. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of other substances can also influence the solubility of salts.


What potassium salt is least soluble at 40 C?

At 40°C, potassium chromate (K₂CrO₄) is one of the least soluble potassium salts when compared to other potassium salts. Its solubility decreases significantly with increasing temperature, making it less soluble than many other potassium salts like potassium chloride or potassium nitrate at that temperature.


What changes most as you increase the temperature - the solubility in fresh or sea water?

As temperature increases, the solubility of most salts generally increases in fresh water, while the solubility of gases typically decreases. In seawater, the effect of temperature on solubility can vary due to the presence of salts and other solutes, but generally, the solubility of gases decreases with higher temperatures. Therefore, while both fresh and seawater experience changes in solubility with temperature, the specific effects can differ based on the solute involved.


How is the solubility of sodium nitrate and of ptassium nitrate affected by temperayure?

The solubility of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate generally increases with temperature. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for the solvent and solute particles to interact, allowing for greater solubility. However, there can be variations depending on the specific salts and solvents involved.


Which salt shows the least change in solubility from 0-100c?

The specific answer to this question depends on the exact solubility curve diagrams you are looking at. However, a web search for images of solubility curves provide many common curves. Using those images shows that sodium chloride, NaCl, often has the least change in solubility in water from 0-100 degrees C.


How do you determine the solubility of sparingly soluble salts?

The solubility of sparingly soluble salts can be determined by conducting a saturation test, in which excess solid salt is added to a solvent and the mixture is stirred until no more salt dissolves. The concentration of the dissolved salt at this point represents the solubility of the salt in that particular solvent at a given temperature. This value can be further verified by calculating the solubility product constant (Ksp) for the salt.


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 is the amount of dissolved salts in a substances?

It varies from substance to substance and salt to salt.
