In a gas to liquid mixture, what happens to solubility when temperature increases?

Back

In a gas to liquid mixture, an increase in temperature leads to a decrease in solubility.

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent).

Front

How does agitation affect solubility?

Back

Agitation increases solubility by helping to disperse the solute particles throughout the solvent.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the solubility of solids in liquids?

Back

Generally, the solubility of solids in liquids increases with an increase in temperature.
