MIDTERM 01 - Solubility Flashcards
Refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent
Solubility
3 solubility parameters/profiles (AKT)
Apparent, Kinetic, Thermodynamic
Refers to solubility observed under experimental conditions (Types of solubility parameters/profiles)
Apparent solubility
Refers to solubility determined by rate of dissolution (Types of solubility parameters/profiles)
Kinetic solubility
Refers to solubility when the system is in equilibrium (Types of solubility parameters/profiles)
Thermodynamic solubility
Refers to how fast a solute dissolves in a solvent (Factors affecting solubility)
Dissolution rate of solute
Generally, a higher temperature results to a higher solubility (Factors affecting solubility)
Temperature
Relationship between temperature and solubility in solids
Directly proportional
Relationship between temperature and solubility in liquids
Directly proportional
Relationship between temperature and solubility in gases
Inversely proportional
Involves salting in and salting out (Factors affecting solubility)
Addition of salt
Results to an increase in solubility by stabilizing ions in solution
Salting in
Results to a decrease in solubility by competing with water molecules
Salting out
The formation of a complex with another compound can enhance solubility by stabilizing the solute in the solution (Factors affecting solubility)
Complex formation
Converting a solute into its salt form often increases solubility due to better dissociation in water (Factors affecting solubility)
Salt formation
