Question

What general trend applies to solubility?

(a) Temperature is not related to solubility.
(b) As temperature goes up, solubility goes down.
(c) As solubility goes up, temperature goes down.
(d) As temperature goes up, solubility goes up.

Answer 1

Basically, solubility increases with temperature. It is the case for most of the solvents. The situation is though different for gases. With increase of the temperature they became less soluble in each other and in water, but more soluble in organic solvents.
