Solubility of solid solute in a liquid solvent increases with increase in ______.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the temperature is increased, the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and the solvent increases. The increase in the kinetic energy facilitates the solvent molecules to break the intermolecular attractive forces that keep the solute molecules together and hence the solubility increases.
