Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following affects the amount of sodium chloride that can dissolve in water?
A
Volume and temperature of water
B
Rate of stirring and size of sodium chloride
C
Volume, rate of stirring and size of sodium chloride
D
Volume, size of sodium chloride and temperature of water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An increase in pressure and an increase in temperature in this reaction results in greater solubility.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of dissolving depends on the surface area (solute in solid state), temperature and amount of stirring.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a salt is dissolved in water, the temperature of solution decreases.

Detailed explanation-5: -1: Solubility curves for several compounds. Notice how the temperature dependence of NaCl is fairly flat, meaning that an increase in temperature has relatively little effect on the solubility of NaCl.
