Q

Many ionic substances dissolve in water but which ones don’t?

A
  • barium, calcium, lead and silver sulfates
  • silver + lead halides
  • all metal carbonates
  • metal hydroxides (except group 1 and ammonium hydroxides)
29
Q

What happens when ionic substances dissolve and what does this allow them to do?

A

The ions become surrounded by water molecules and spread out through the solution.
Once separated, behave independently of each other.
This presence of hydrated ions in solution explains why aqueous solutions of salts can conduct electricity.
