Pressure is directly proportional to solubility and temperature is inversely proportional to solubility.by this pressure must be inversely proportional to temperature, but it is not. why?
Answers
Explanation:
Solubility depends on pressure not the other way round, i.e pressure is independent of solubility
So one cannot draw conclusions like that
For example: equilibrium constant depends only on temperature for a reaction even though there is no temperature term in the formula for rate of reaction
Hope this answer helped you :)
Answer:
It is supposed to be directly proportional itself.
Explanation:
PLEASE IMAGINE THIS HYPOTHETICALLY THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL EQUATION!
if pressure is directly proportional to solubility there will be a formula where Pressure (P) and Solubility(S) will be on either side of the equation; whereas if Temperature(T) is inversely proportional to Solubility(S), it will be on the same side as Solubility in the equation. Now, that would mean that P and T are on either side of the equation which means that P is directly proportional to T.
