Question

What type of solute becomes less soluble in the

solvent as the temperature of the solvent
increases?
A. an ionic solid
B. a covalent solid
C. a covalent liquid
D. a covalent gas

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a covalent gas eg Chlorine... its solubility decreases with increase in temperature Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy. The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in the gasmolecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.
