Sorption
Water Loss/Dehydration
Volatilization/Vaporization
Causes of Insolubility/Immiscibility
Salting-Out
Changes in temperature
slightly soluble non-electrolyte + water but an addition of an electrolyte which is more soluble will separate the two
Salting out
Examples of salting-out
Acacia mucilage + water
Hydroalcoholic mixture + NaCl
Alcohol + NaCl solution
Changes in temperature
Endothermic compounds
(Directly proportional)
Exothermic compounds (Inversely proportional)
Endothermic compounds
KCl, Boric acid
- increase in temp = increase in solubility
Exothermic compounds
Ca(OH2) is insoluble in H2O
