SOLUBILITY CURVE

The solubility curve of some solids

are plotted in a graph called the
SOLUBILITY CURVE.
The solubility curve of different
salts are given at different
temperatures.
 EFFECT OF PRESSURE

Solubility of gas in liquids.

The solubility of solids in
liquids are not affected by
pressure.
 SURFACE AREA

Interaction between the solute and the

solvent occurs at the surface area.
Therefore, the greater the surface area the
greater the interaction of the solute and the
solvent, and thus solubility increases.The
surface area can be increased by grinding
the solid into finer particles.
 STIRRING

As solute is added to the solvent, solute

particles tend to concentrate in a section of
the mixture and the dissolving process
slows down. Stirring will disperse the solute
into the sections of the solvent, increasing
the dissolution process.
