What is Solubility?
The amount of solute present in a solution is called solubility
It is the
maximum amount of solute which can be dissolved in 100 gm of Solvent at a particular temperature.
Example
Solubility of Salt is 36gm (at 20 degree celsius)
It means maximum 36 gm of salt can be dissolved in 100 gm of water at 20 degree celsius
Effect of Temperature on Solubility
-
In case of
Solids Dissolved in Liquids
If we increase the temperature, solubility increases
If we decrease the temperature, solubility decreases
-
In case of
Gases dissolved in liquids
If we increase the temperature, solubility decreases
If we decrease the temperature, solubility increases
