What is the effect of pressure on the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Very small
Changing pressure normally produces only a very small change in the solubility of a solid in a liquid. The reason is that condensed phases have little volume change under ordinary pressure changes. Pressure is much more important for gases, whose volume and escaping tendency respond strongly to pressure. The effect on solids is not always inverse or large.
