CSEC Chemistry · January 2007 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(v)

A student investigates the effect of temperature on the solubility of two salts, R and T, collecting data shown in Table 1.

Which of the two salts is more soluble at 5°C?

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
