Question

Generally, what will happen to most liquids if the temperature is increased?

a. The triple point will drop.
b. The solubility of the liquid will increase.
c. The solubility of the liquid will decrease.
d. The solubility will not change because the solubility of liquids is never affected by temperature.

Answer 1

Answer: b. The solubility of the liquid will increase

Explanation: If the temperature of the liquids is increased, the solubility of the liquids will increase because the on increasing the temperature, kinetic energy of the particles present in the liquid will increase .

Thus when the kinetic energy increases, the particles would not remain precipitated and thus hereby increasing the solubility of the particles.

The triple point is the point at which the liquid can co-exist in all three forms that is solid, liquid and gas.

Answer 2

The best answer from the choices given is option B. The solubility of the liquid will increase. An increase in the temperature is associated in the increase of solubility because kinetic energy of the particles increase leading to more effective breaking apart of attractions between particles.
