Explain the various factors that impact the solubility of substances in water.

Answer

Hi, the factors are;

Temperature

molecular size of solute

stirring

Explanation

An increase in temperature increases the solubility rate.Large solute molecules have larger molecular weight and size, thus less soluble. Stirring increases the speed of the dissolving process. In addition, polarity affects solubility in that solutes dissolve in solvents that share similar polarity.

All the best!

 Temperature, Molecular Size of the particle, Polarity, Stirring

Explanation:  Solubility of substances in water depends upon the below mentioned factors -

1. Temperature - Higher the temperature, higher will be the kinetic energy of the particles which will move in random directions. Thus the particle will nt remain as precipitate in the solution and will try to get dissolved.

2. Molecular Size of the particle - It is more difficult for the solvent to dissolve the particle with large molecular size as it will take high temperature to get dissolved.

3. Polarity - 'Like dissolves like' explains the polarity concept of the solubility. It means that the non polar solute will get dissolved in non polar solvents and polar solutes will get dissolved in polar solvents only.

4. Stirring - Stirring only helps to increase the speed of the process of solubility. It has nothing to do with the substance.

relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air relative to the total amount of moisture the air can hold.

so d

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
