Chapter 4 - Solubility and Chemical Equilibrium

Question 1

Dissolution

Answer 1

The process where a solute in gaseous, liquid or solid phase dissolves in a solvent to form a solution

Question 2

What are the factors that affect solubility?

Answer 2

(Like dissolves like) Nature of solute, temperature, surface area, Co-occurring solutes, pH, pressure, polarity, redox potential

Question 3

Equilibrium Law

Answer 3

K = [C]^c [D]^d / [A]^a [B]^b

Question 4

Gibbs Free Energy for Non-Equilibrium Conditions

Answer 4

∆𝑮 = ∆𝑮 + 𝑹𝑻LnK
R = universal gas constant
first G will equal zero at equilibrium
