Raising the temperature of a solvent (eg water) alters the maximum solubility why?

No, it is more about the temprature of the medium you are dissolving In.so its more to do with the temp of the thing your trying to dissolve not so much the medium E8?

Raising the temperature of a solvent can increase its ability to dissolve solutes, as well as increase its vapor pressure and decrease its viscosity. It may also cause changes in the solvent's freezing and boiling points.
In most cases, raising the temperature of a solvent will not change its chemical composition. However, at very high temperatures, some solvents may undergo chemical reactions and form new compounds.
The most common methods for raising the temperature of a solvent include heating with a heat source, such as a Bunsen burner or hot plate, and using a water or oil bath. Other methods include using a microwave or ultrasound to generate heat.
Yes, there is a limit to how high the temperature of a solvent can be raised. This limit is known as the boiling point, which is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the solvent is equal to the atmospheric pressure. If the temperature is raised above this point, the solvent will boil and turn into a gas.
Raising the temperature of a solvent can increase the rate of a chemical reaction by providing more energy for the particles to collide and react. This is known as the Arrhenius equation, which states that for every 10°C increase in temperature, the reaction rate doubles.
