If the solubility of a solid increases with temperature, what may happen on cooling?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Some solute may separate
If a hot solution contains an amount of dissolved solid allowed by the higher temperature, cooling can lower the solubility limit. The excess solute may then separate from the solution as crystals or solid. Therefore A is correct. Cooling does not make solubility infinite, remove all solvent, or reduce solution mass to zero.
