Question

Solubility of a solute in a solvent (say, water) is dependent on the temperature as given by S = A.e^–ΔH/RT, where ΔH is the heat of reaction: solute + H₂O$\rightleftharpoons$solution. For a given solution, variation of log S with temperature is shown graphically. The solute should be

Accepted Answer

$S = A.e^{- \Delta H/RT} \Rightarrow \ln s = \ln A - \frac{\Delta H}{RT}$Positive slope represents that ΔH = negative.
