Question
Explain the effect of pressure on solubility.
Short Note
Solution
- The change in pressure does not have any significant effect on the solubility of solids and liquids as they are not compressible. However, the solubility of gases generally increases with the increase in pressure.
- According to Le – chatter’s principle, the increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium in the direction which will reduce the pressure. Therefore, more gaseous molecules dissolve in the solvent.
- If pressure increases, the solubility of gas also increases.
