Question 16

Solubility and Solutions

For a given solute, the concentration of its saturated solution in different solvents are

  1. A.the same at the same temperature
  2. B.different at the same temperature
  3. C.the same at different temperatures
  4. D.constant
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (different at the same temperature)

Explanation

Solubility depends on the solvent, so a solute's saturated concentration differs from one solvent to another even at the same temperature.
