In case of a solution (not of a solid in a liquid), whose total volume is less than the sum of the volumes of its components in their pure states, solubility is__________________?

Correct answer: B. Increases with rise in pressure

  • A. Independent of temperature
  • B. Increases with rise in pressure
  • C. Increased with decrease in pressure
  • D. Unchanged with pressure changes

Explanation

A negative volume change on mixing means pressure favors the mixed solution, increasing the amount that can dissolve. Therefore solubility increases as pressure rises.
