Which among following salts shows decrease in solubility with increase in temperature?
Options
- ANa ₂ SO ₄
- BKNO ₃
- CNaNO ₃
- DKBr
Correct answer
A. Na ₂ SO ₄
Step-by-step solution
Dissolution of Na ₂ SO ₄ in water is an exothermic process. When a substance dissolves in water by an exothermic process, its solubility decreases with an increase in temperature. Hence, solubility of Na ₂ SO ₄ in water decreases with increase in temperature.
