The solubility of a solid or liquid in a liquid is markedly influenced by temperature.This influence can be explained based on Le Chatelier’s principle.In a nearly saturated solution,if dissolution process is exothermic  (deltaH solution is negative), solubility decreases with increase in temperature.If the dissolution process is endothermic (deltaH solution is positive),solubility increases with increase in temperature.
