Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A chemical has a solubility of 1000 mg/L at 25°C. If the temperature increases to 50°C, the solubility increases to 1500 mg/L. What does this imply about the relationship between temperature and solubility?
💡 Hint: Think about molecular motion and interactions as water heats up.
If you are studying two compounds where one has a very low Henry's Law constant and the other a high constant, how would you expect their behavior in a contaminated lake to differ?
💡 Hint: Consider why some compounds evaporate faster than others.
