What is solubility give examples the factor on which solubility depends
Answers
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent.
1) Temperature :- For most solids and liquids, their solubility increases with temperature. Eg:- barium nitrate and disodium hydrogen arsenate, and show a large increase in solubility with temperature .
2) Pressure:- Precipitation fouling of oil fields and wells by calcium sulfate (which decreases its solubility with decreasing pressure) can result in decreased productivity with time.

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factorsthat affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubilityof gases.
