Solubility curves are the graphical representations of the solubility of different solutes in a particular solventA solvent is the liquid that dissolves a substance (solute) to form a solution. It is usually present in a larger amount in the solution. The most common solvent is water,... More at different temperatures.

The curves are obtained by plotting the solubility of solutes against the temperature.

In ionic solids, e.g. KClO₃ and KNO₃; the solubility increases with an increase in temperature.
For gases e.g CO₂, and CH₄ the solubility decreases with an increase in temperature.
In salts like NaCl, solubility does not change with temperature.
