Explore the relationship between polarity and solubility. Determine the solubility of polar and nonpolar solutes, and an ionic solute in different solvents. Prior knowledge: 8.7: Bond Polarity and Electronegativity; 8.8: Bond and Molecular Polarity
In this explainer, we will learn how to describe polar and nonpolar solvents. Solubility can be defined as the tendency of one chemical substance to dissolve in a solvent and form a solution. The solute can be a solid, a liquid, or even a gas and the solvent can be made up of almost any type of molecule. Some substances will be soluble in polar ...
A key component in determining the polarity of a molecule is the polarity of its intramolecular bonds. To do so we need to look at the atoms involved in each bond and the electronegativity difference between them. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
a liquid solvent, the solute dissolves when the molecules of both are similar enough in polarity. For example, water dissolves other polar molecules (sucrose C12H22O11, urea H2NC(O)NH2, etc.), ionic compounds (NaCl, Fe(NO3)3, etc.), and Arrhenius acids (citric acid H3C6H5O7, potassium hydrogen phthalate KHC8H4O4 etc.).
13 gru 2023 · Solvents that are very polar will dissolve solutes that are very polar or even ionic. Solvents that are nonpolar will dissolve nonpolar solutes. Thus water, being polar, is a good solvent for ionic compounds and polar solutes like ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH).
Chapter 13 – Properties of Solutions. Solution Composition – a Review. ‐ most of this section should be a review ‐ solute vs. solvent ‐‐ solute is the species that is added to the solution – the more dilute/less concentrated component of a solution ‐‐ solvent is the species that is in abundance – ...
SOLUTIONS ARE MADE UP OF 2 PARTS: SOLUTE: substance or substances that are DISSOLVED in a solution (example: the salt in saltwater); solute is usually a SOLID and is the LESSER quantity of the two (versus the solvent) SOLVENT: the substance that is DISSOLVING the solute (example: the
