What is the effect of temperature on solubility of salt in water?
Answer:
Temperature does effect the solubility of any solid solute in a solution,like in the case of salt in water.the effect of temperature depends on the nature of reaction.if the reaction is an endothermic reaction,then the increase in temperature has a positive effect and the solubility increases.if it is an exothermic process,then the increase in the temperature would not favour the solubity of the solute.
For Salt + Water Solution ΔH = + ve or for endothermic dissolution of salt, the solubility increases with temperature. Where as for exothermic dissolution. Salt + Water → Solution. ΔH = – ve > the solubility decreases with temperature.
