Solubility in water

Temperature affects both the equilibrium position of the precipitation reaction and the reaction rate. In general, solubility increases with the increasing temperature with a few notable exceptions such as CaCO3, Ca3(PO4)2, CaSO4 and FePO4 which are of importance in the water chemistry. To calculate the solubility at a temperature with the equation:

and with the van't Hoffs equation you can calculate the difference in solubility:

Where:
K= Solubility of substance with highest temperature
K= Solubility of substance with lowest temperature
H   = Enthalpy
G   = Gibbs energy
R   = Ideal gas constant
T= Temperature of substance with highest temperature
T= Temperature of substance with lowest temperature

Below you will see a table and the solubility of the chemical substances and you will notice that with most of the chemical substances the solubility rises with the temperature.
