Solubility of solids

Solubility of solids

1. solubility is measurement of how much a substance will dissolve in a given amount of liquid

   • The liquid is the solvent.
     • gas solubility depends on temp and pressure

2. temperature increases= solids become more soluble

   • pressure increase = more gas molecules dissolve into the solvent
     • gases tend to become less soluble as the temperature of the solvent increases
