Which is true of most solid solutes in water as temperature rises?
A.Solubility increases
B.Solubility decreases
C.Solubility is unchanged
D.Solubility increases only for gases
Explanation
Core Concept
For most solids, dissolving is endothermic enough that higher temperature favors more solute in solution. The exceptions (like Ce₂(SO₄)₃) are rare enough that the general trend holds on the AP exam.
Correct Answer
ASolubility increases
