Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a particular amount of solvent doesn't depend on the nature of the solute.

Explanation:

Solubility is the capability of a "solute to dissolve in the solvent". When you dissolve the sugar in the water, the sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.

Temperature plays a major role in the solubility of a solvent. As the "temperature rises, the solubility also increases". The increase in temperature makes it easy to break the bonds in the solute and let it dissolve easily in the solvent.
