Solubility: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as, Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid, Effect of Dielectric Constant of a Solvent on Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid & Effect of Lattice Energy and Solvation Energy on Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid etc.
Important Questions on Solubility
The molar solubility (in ) of a sparingly soluble salt is ‘s’. The corresponding solubility product is ‘s’ is given in terms of by the relation :

Solubility curve of a hydrated salt in water with temperature is given. The curve indicates that the solution process is

and have large dielectric constant but the not a good solvent why?

Given liquid solution contains two components and . Component follows Henry's law for the mole fraction range at constant temperature (and low pressure, where, it can be taken ) . Then component must follow Raoult's law for the molefraction range . What is the value of ?

Explain the solubility of ionic compounds in polar solvents.


Give two examples each of polar and non-polar solvents.


, a toxic gas with a rotten egg-like smell is used for the qualitative analysis. If the solubility of in water at is , Calculate Henry's law constant. (Write the answer without units)

Henry’s law states that at a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is inversely proportional to the partial pressure of the gas present above the surface of liquid or solution.

Henry's Law states that amount of gas that is dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the _____ pressure of that gas above the liquid when the temperature is kept constant.

The values of the Henry's law constant of and in water at are and , respectively. The order of their solubility in water at the same temperature and pressure is
