​•Shows the maximum

•number of grams that

•can be dissolved in 100g

•of H2O at specific

•temperatures

•Most show increasing solubility as temperature increases, but a few don’t

–These are gaseous NH3, HCl, SO2

–Gases decrease in solubility as temperature increases

•Where the curves intersect, shows where those solutions are equally soluble
