Slide Number 8

Results

Salt Initial Temp Temp after dissolution Reaction Solubility with increase in Temp
KCl (5 g) 25o C 21o C Endothermic Increases
Ce2(SO4)3 (2 g) 25o C 27o C Exothermic decreases


Let us now analyse the results.

We observed that:

  • For an endothermic process, solubility increases as temperature increases.
  • For an exothermic process, solubility decreases as temperature increases.

These observations follow Le Chatelier's principle.
