Which of these factors can determine solubility changes related to temperature?

The correct choice highlights that the nature of the solute and solvent significantly impacts solubility changes with temperature. Solubility often depends on the intermolecular forces between solute and solvent molecules. For example, ionic compounds typically dissolve better in polar solvents like water, while nonpolar solutes are more soluble in nonpolar solvents.

As temperature changes, the kinetic energy of the molecules also changes, which can affect how readily the solute dissolves. For example, most solid solutes have increased solubility with rising temperatures due to enhanced molecular movement and interaction. In contrast, the solubility of some gases decreases with an increase in temperature, as the higher kinetic energy allows gas molecules to escape the solvent more easily.

Other factors mentioned, such as the presence of light, the pH of the solution, and the size of the containers, do not have a direct relationship with solubility changes due to temperature. While pH might influence the solubility of certain compounds, it does so primarily through chemical reactions rather than temperature effects. Light and container size are not influencing factors on solubility in the context of temperature changes.
