Question 16
Solubility and SolutionsThe solubilities of different solutes in a given solvent can be compared by
- A.plotting their solubility curves on separate axes
- B.plotting their solubility curves on the same axes
- C.plotting some of the solubility curves on the x-axis and others on the y-axis
- D.plotting their solubility curves on the x-axis only.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (plotting their solubility curves on the same axes)
Explanation
Drawing all the curves on one set of axes lets you compare the solubilities directly at any temperature.
