Question:

If in a nearly saturated solution, the dissolution process is endothermic (∆solH > 0), what is the effect of temperature on the solubility?

Options:

Solubility increases with fall in temperature

Solubility decreases with rise in temperature

Solubility decreases with fall in temperature

Solubility increases with rise in temperature

Correct Answer:

Solubility increases with rise in temperature

Explanation:

In general, if in a nearly saturated solution, the dissolution process is endothermic (∆solH > 0), the solubility should increase with rise in temperature.
