• solubility

•  

  insolubility

How does temperature affect solubility? (select the TWO that are true)

• As temperature increases the solubility of liquids and solids increases.

• As temperature increases the solubility of gases increases. 

• As temperature decreases the solubility of solids and liquids increases. 

• As temperature decreases, the solubility of gases increases. 

How does temperature affect solubility? (select all that applies)

• As pressure increases solubility gases decrease

• As pressure increases the solubility of gases increases.

• As pressure increases it has little effect on liquids. 

Agitation (stirring) increases the rate of solubility. 

• True

• False

How does surface area affect solubility?

• The greater the surface area the lower the solubility.

• The greater the surface area the higher the solubility.
