Which of the following has the least (almost negligible) effect on the solubility of a solute in a solvent ?
Correct answer: C. Pressure
- A. Temperature
- B. Nature of solute
- C. Pressure
- D. Nature of solvent
Explanation
Pressure has a negligible effect on the solubility of most solid or liquid solutes, whereas temperature and the chemical nature of both solute and solvent usually matter strongly. Pressure is especially important for gases, which is the usual exception.
