Solubility will increase, because as T increases the − Δ H ∘ R T −ΔH∘RT term becomes smaller therefore K will get larger. Solubility will increase, because as T increases the − Δ H ∘ R T −ΔH∘RT term becomes smaller therefore K will get smaller.

Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp? Select the option that best explains why. To make sure no more sodium borate would dissolve in solution. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium. To make sure the solution was saturated with sodium and borate ions. All of the above
