Q

Describe the processes involved in the dissolution of ionic compounds in water

A

It is only when the solution is saturated, that the dissolution reaction is equilibrium.

Water is a polar molecule, where it is slightly positive at the hydrogen ends and slightly negative on the oxygen end. These charged ends of the molecule will attract the opposite charge in the ionic compound.

However, not all ionic compounds are soluble in water or are partially soluble in water. This is because the ion dipole forces between ions and the polar molecule is not strong enough to break the ionic bonds that holds the ions together in the lattice

Q

What happens if Qsp > Ksp

A

Therefore, system attempts to reach equilbrium through favouring the reaction which reduces aqueous ions –> favouring reverse reaction –> formation of precipitate

Q

What happens if Qsp < Ksp?

A

Therefore, system attempts to reach equilbrium through favouring the reaction which increases aqueous ions –> favouring forward reaction –> less precipitate, more aqueous ions –> no formation of precipitate

20
Q

How does adding water (dilution) affect the Ksp? According to LCP

A

LCP: Equilibrium will shift to minimise the disturbance. When we add water, concentration of ions decrease, disturbing equilibrium and to counteract this change, the equilibrium will shift to favour the forward reaction to increase conc of aqueous ions –> more of solid precipitate will dissolve

21
Q

How does adding water (dilution) affect the Ksp? According to Qsp and Ksp?

A

Compare valus of Qsp and Ksp to predict direction of change and new equilibrium. When water is added, there is dilution of concentration of aq ions, this indicates decreased Qsp, as Qsp increases to reach Ksp, therefore the concentrations of the products have to increase –> favouring the forward reaction

22
Q

How does adding water (dilution) affect the Ksp? According to collision theory

A

When water is added, conc of ions decrease, disturbing the equilibrium. As concentrations of ions decrease, frequency of collisions for reverse reactions will decrease, thus equilibrium shifts in the right as the forward reaction is left unchanged, thus equilibrium shifts right (more precipitate dissolving)=

23
Q

What are th steps in calculating solubility from Ksp?

A
  1. Write an equation for the dissolution and the corresponding Ksp expression
  2. Determine the ion concentrations from thee moles of the solute using the mole ratios (
  3. Substitute the concentrations into the equilibrium expression to solve for x

  2. Make an ICE table in units of M to set out working for calculations
  3. Determine thee ion concentrations using the ICE tables, noting that reactants will have a ‘+x’
  4. Sub concentrations into equilibrium expression to solve for x
25
Q

How to calculate Ksp from solubility?

A

27
Q

What are common ions?

A

In an aqueous solution, a solute dissolves and dissociates to produce ions, this means in solution, ions of the same species are indistinguishable . Thus, when another compound is dissolved in a solution with a common ion, it is called the common ion

28
Q

What is the common ion effect?

A

A solution containing a mixture of salts with a common ion will produce a solution a combined total of moles (and concentration) of the common ion

29
Q

How to calculate solubility under common ion effect?

A
  1. Chemical equation and Ksp
  2. Construct ICE table
  3. Calculate equilibrium concentrations using ICE tables
  4. Solve for K using eq concentrations (and HAVE TO MENTION THAT X IS SO SMALL THAT IT IS NEGLIGBILE - COMMON ION EFFECT MAKES X NEGLIGIBLE)
30

Salts with Ksp >= 10^-6

31
Q

What Ksp value is considered insoluble?

A

Salts with Ksp < 10^-6

32
Q

What is detoxification?

A

Process of removing toxins (which are poisonous substances produced by organisms such as plants)

33
Q

What methods are commonly used to detoxify foods?

A

Heating
Fermentation
Leaching

34
Q

What is heating as a form of detoxification?

A

When food items are heated, heat causes the decomposition of toxins

35
Q

What is fermentation as a form of detoxification?

A

During fermentation, food items are stored for several months to years. In this, the various biological processes break down the toxins. Toxins can then be digested by micro organisms or broken down by plant’s natural enzymes which accelerate transformation of toxins into other substances

36
Q

What is leeching?

A

Process of removing a soluble solute (toxin) from host substancce using a solvent

37
Q

What are cycads?

A

Cycads are palm like plants that produces seeds in cones. However, they contain highly toxic chemicals which can cause liver damage, cancer and loss of muscle control, neurodegenerative diseases

38
Q

What are the two main toxins in cycads?

A

Cycasin and β - methylamino - L - alaine (BMAA)

39
Q

What are the steps required to detoxify cycads?

A
  1. Heating ; seeds are placed in an oven or fire
  2. Grinding; The seeds are cut open or ground up
  3. Leaching; Seeds are leached in water. They are placed in mesh bays or wooven baskets and submerged i running water for pprox a week

44
Q

What is required for solubility (in terms of bonds)

A

if the ion dipole forces between ions and the polar molecule are strong enough to break the ionic bonds

45
Q

Why are some ionic compounds dissolving in water at higher temps but still in lattice forms at cooler temperatures?

A

Because the heat energy at higher temperatures provide energy that is stronger than the ion dipole force as well as the ionic bonds that hold the lattice together
