Question

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solute and solvent. There are different types of solutions. A carbonated drink is an example of a solution where the solute is a gas and the solvent is a liquid. Sugar crystals dissolved in water is an example of a solution where the solute is a solid and the solvent is liquid. Acetic acid is miscible in water, forming a solution commonly known as vinegar. In this case, both the solute and the solvent are liquids. The solubility of solute in a solvent depends on various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, the nature of the solute, and the nature of the solvent. Considering these parameters, identify the statements that are correct for the solubility of a solute in a solvent.

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is

Carbond dioxide gas will be less soluble in water when partial pressure is low

Table salt dissolves in water to form a solution.

Zinc sulfate is soluble in water.

wrong statements are

Gases are readily soluble in water at higher temperatures: the solubility of gases decreases with temperature
Ethanol and hexane are miscible.: ethanol being polar is insoluble in non polar hexane.
