solubility 4
Certainly, Mayank! Here's a CBSE Class 12-friendly, exam-oriented, and impactful explanation of Solubility, designed for smart board/lecture slides or student notes. It’s clear, to the point, and aligned with the CBSE NCERT format.
🌊 Solubility – Class 12 (CBSE Focus)
🔍 Definition (For Board Exams)
Solubility of a substance is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure to form a saturated solution.
✍️ Write this definition exactly as it is in NCERT for exams.
✅ Key Concepts (Keep it Student-Friendly)
🧪 Solute = the substance that dissolves
💧 Solvent = the substance in which solute dissolves
🧫 Saturated solution = no more solute can dissolve at given T and P
🔁 Dynamic equilibrium:
Dissolution rate = Crystallisation rate
🎯 Factors Affecting Solubility
(📝 All these are important for CBSE exams)
1. 🔄 Nature of Solute and Solvent
📌 Rule: "Like dissolves like"
Type | Example | Solubility |
---|---|---|
Polar in polar | NaCl in water | ✅ Dissolves |
Non-polar in non-polar | Naphthalene in benzene | ✅ Dissolves |
Polar in non-polar | Sugar in benzene | ❌ Does not dissolve |
2. 🌡️ Effect of Temperature
🧪 For solids in liquids:
-
If endothermic (∆H > 0): Solubility ↑ with temperature
-
If exothermic (∆H < 0): Solubility ↓ with temperature
📌 Use Le Chatelier’s Principle
🧪 For gases in liquids:
-
Solubility decreases with rise in temperature
📌 Gas escapes more at higher temperature
3. 🧯 Effect of Pressure (Only for Gases)
✔️ For gases, solubility increases with increase in pressure
📘 Henry’s Law (CBSE Must-Know)
At constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.
📌 Formula:
Where:
-
p = partial pressure of gas
-
x = mole fraction of gas in solution
-
KH = Henry’s constant
🔺 Higher KH ⇒ Lower solubility
🔬 Applications of Henry’s Law (Short Notes)
Application | Explanation |
---|---|
Soft drinks | CO₂ dissolved at high pressure |
Scuba diving | High pressure dissolves more gases → risk of nitrogen bubbles (bends) |
Mountains | Low oxygen pressure → less O₂ dissolves in blood → anoxia (breathlessness) |
📊 Important KH Values (Ask in MCQs)
Gas | Temp (K) | KH (kbar) | Solubility |
---|---|---|---|
CO₂ | 298 | 1.67 | Very High |
O₂ | 293 | 34.86 | Moderate |
He | 293 | 144.97 | Very Low |
🧠 Tips for Exams:
✔ Write definitions exactly as in NCERT
✔ Use diagrams if asked (dynamic equilibrium, Henry’s law graph)
✔ Always mention Le Chatelier’s Principle when explaining temperature effects
✔ Learn 3 uses of Henry’s Law (1 line each – scoring)
📝 Sample Board Question:
Q. Define solubility. What are the factors affecting solubility of a solid and a gas in liquid?
🟩 Write definition + nature + temperature + pressure points.
