      Does the solubility of a substance change with temperature? Explain with the help of an example.

    Answer:

      Yes, the solubility of a substance changes with temperature, The maximum amount of a solute which can be dissolved in 100 g of a solvent at a specified temperature is called its solubility, Effect of temperature on solubility (i) The solubility of solids in liquids usually increases on increasing the temperature and decreases on decreasing the temperature. (ii) The solubility of gases in liquids usually decreases on increasing the temperature and increases on decreasing the temperature. Let us take an example of copper sulphate. The solubilities of copper sulphate in water at various temperatures are given below  
    Temperature
    Solubility of copper sulphate
    From the above data, it is clear that, when the temperature is increased from 0°C to 70'C, the solubility of copper sulphate in water increases from 14 g to 47g. The above data shows that the solubility of a salt increases on increasing the temperature.
