Answer:
The answer is b.
The solubility of Ca(CH3COO)2 will raise.
Explanation:
Since the solution becomes hot when Ca(CH3COO)2 is dissolved, the dissolution is exothermic, and the heat is released together with the dissolved ions:
Ca (CH3COO) 2 (s) == Ca2 + (aqueous solution) + 2 CH3COO- (aqueous solution) + heat
According to Le Chatelier's principle, lowering the temperature can eliminate heat and shift the balance to the right.
Therefore, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction, and more Ca(CH3COO) 2 will be dissolved, resulting in an increase in solubility.
