Why solubility of solid in liquid increases with increasing temperature and effect of temperature in the change from solid to liquid?

Firstly, as regards the change from solid to liquid (melting) with increasing temperature, it is due to thermal motion, whose energy overcomes crystal lattice energy, so that the liquid state only shows short-range order instead of long-range order.
Secondly, most often, the solubility of a solid in a liquid increases with temperature, also due to thermal motion, which breaks intermolecular (non covalent) bonds, and also ion-ion bonds in electrolytes. For endothermic dissolution phenomena, dissolution occurs thanks to positive entropy change, leading to negative free energy change. On the other hand, if dissolution is exothermic, it is not entropy-driven.
For liquid-liquid systems, phenomena may be more complex, the phase diagram sometimes showing a solubility minimum.
Solubility increases with temperature for most solids dissolved in liquid water. This is because higher temperatures increase the vibration or kinetic energy of the solute molecules. Solute molecules are held together by intermolecular attractions. Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. The solubility of a given solute to dissolve in a specific solvent depends on the temperature. With an increase in temperature solubility of liquids and solids increases. In the same way solubility of gases decreases with an increase in temperature. As temperature increases, the solubility of a solid or liquid can fluctuate depending on whether the dissolution reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In endothermic dissolution reactions, the net energy from breaking and forming bonds results in heat energy being absorbed into the system as the solute dissolves. For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions. The solute's solubility falls because the kinetic energy of the gaseous solute increases as the temperature rises. As a result, its molecules are more likely to escape the solvent molecule's attraction and return to the gas phase. At higher temperatures, gas molecules have higher kinetic energy and can escape solution phase more easily. Therefore, solubility decreases. An increase in pressure and an increase in temperature in this reaction results in greater solubility. An increase in pressure results in more gas particles entering the liquid in order to decrease the partial pressure. Therefore, the solubility would increase.When a solid is added to a liquid, it interacts with liquid molecules and dissolves in it accordingly. This process is known as dissolution and solid is said to be soluble in a liquid solvent. Complete answer: The term solubility can be defined as a physical property of a substance to dissolve in another substance.Rises in temperature improve the solubility of solids in water, but reduce the solubility of gases in water because temperature increases produce an increase in the number of stimulated atoms or molecules of gases. Changes in pressure have essentially no effect on the solubility of solids and liquids. The change in pressure has no effect on the solubility of a solid in a liquid solution. This is because solids are incompressible and liquids are negligibly compressible. Thus there is a no effect of pressure on their solution. Melting is a physical process that causes a matter's phase change from solid to liquid. When the internal energy of solid increases, usually due to the application of heat or pressure, the temperature of the matter rises to the melting point. Melting is the transformation of a solid into a liquid.Temperature has a direct effect on whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid or gas. Generally, increasing the temperature turns solids into liquids and liquids into gases; reducing it turns gases into liquids and liquids into solids. The kinetic energy of matter particles increases as temperature rises, and they begin to vibrate at a higher frequency. As a result, the interparticle force of attraction between particles decreases, and particles become unattached from their positions and free to travel.
