Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

What factors affect the solubility of solvent and solute?

Answer:

  • Temperature: For majority of solutions of solid-in-liquid and liquid-in-liquid types, solubility increases with temperature. However for solutions of gases-in-water type, solubility decreases with increase in temperature.
  • Pressure: It is applicable to gas-in-liquid solutions. An increase in pressure increases the solubility of a gas. For example, aerated drinks contain carbon dioxide gas under pressure.
  • Mechanical Stirring: Mechanical stirring increases solubility. For example, sugar dissolves faster on stirring with a spoon.
  • Size of Solute Particles: Smaller the particle size of solute, greater is the solubility. For example, it is easier to dissolve powdered sugar than granules of sugar.
