Question
Define solubility of a substance. How does it vary with temperature?
✓
Answer
The maximum amount of a solute which can be dissolved in $100g$ of a solvent at a specified temperature is known as the solubility of that solute in that solvent. The solubility of solids in liquids is directly proportional to temperature whereas the solubility of gases in liquids is inversly proportional to temperature.

A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
