For which salt in the graph above does the solubility increase most rapidly with rise in temperature?

A.

CaSO4

B.

KNO3

C.

NaCl

D.

KCl

Correct answer is B

For many solids that are dissolved in water or any liquid, the solubility increases with a temperature rise. With an increase in kinetic energy, the solvent molecules effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by strong intermolecular attractions, and thereby solubility is increased.
