Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When water is heated, the amount of solid that can be dissolved in it
A
Increases
B
Decreases
C
Remains the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heating the solution increases the solubility of solute in it. In other words, on heating more amount of a substance can be dissolved in the same solution. For example, more amount of sugar can be dissolved in hot water as compared to water at room temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -As temperature increases, the solubility of a solid or liquid can fluctuate depending on whether the dissolution reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In endothermic dissolution reactions, the net energy from breaking and forming bonds results in heat energy being absorbed into the system as the solute dissolves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The addition of more heat facilitates the dissolving reaction by providing energy to break bonds in the solid. This is the most common situation where an increase in temperature produces an increase in solubility for solids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature–Generally, an increase in the temperature of the solution increases the solubility of a solid solute. For example, a greater amount of sugar will dissolve in warm water than in cold water. A few solid solutes, however, are less soluble in warmer solutions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Energy from hot water molecules makes solids more soluble. In hot water, molecules are moving around more, so there are more collisions between the water molecules and a solid. A solvent is a substance that can dissolve other substances – water is a good solvent.
