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 :

If the dissolution process is endothermic then the solubility should decrease with an increase in temperature.

The polar solvents will dissolve polar solutes and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.

Gas solubility in liquids is found to decrease with increase in pressure.

The solubility of gases increases with an increase in the pressure of a gas. But, the solubility of the solid will not be affected by the increase of the pressure.

The solubility of solids in liquids is independent of pressure. Mention the applications of Henry's Law.

How does the solubility of the solid substances affected by the pressure?


List out the factors which affect the solubility of the solids in liquids apart from the nature of the solute and the solvent.
