Q

“Potassium chlorate(v), KCIO, has a solubility of 14 g/ 100 g water at
40°C” meaning

A

This means that 14 g of potassium chlorate (v) is required to saturate 100 g of water at 40°C

Q

The values for the solubility of most gases in water are low, so the units are usually mg/1 (milligrams per litre). 1 mg is 1/1000th of a gram.

A

1000 mg in 1 g.

Q

recrystallised

A
  • This process involves heating to evaporate some water (usually until half the volume of water is removed).
  • The solution is then left to cool and crystallise - crystallisation happens because the solubility of a salt decreases as the solution cools.

16
Q

Why does crystallisation happen?

A

because the solubility of a salt decreases as the solution cools

17
Q

What are not very soluble in water?

A
  • Oxygen
  • carbon dioxide
  • hydrogen
18
Q

How are O2, CO2 and H2 collected when they are prepared in the laboratory?

A

collected over water

19
Q

Why are O2, CO2 and H2 collected over water?

A

This is because of their low solubility in water

20
Q

general trends in the solubility of solids

A

As temperature increases, the solubility of a solid increases.

21
Q

general trends in the solubility of liquids

A

As temperature increases, the solubility of a gas decreases.

22
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid

A
  1. Weigh a clean, dry boiling tube.
  2. Add some solid (see step 7) and reweigh the boiling tube.
  3. Add 10 cm3 of deionised water to the boiling tube from a pipette (a burette can be used). Using a pipette is an accurate way of measuring a volume of a liquid. Liguids are drawn up (sucked up) into the pipette using a pipette filler.
  4. Put a thermometer in the boiling tube.
  5. Heat the boiling tube in a water bath until all the crystals dissolve. Stir gently using the thermometer.
  6. Allow the solution to cool slowly (while still stirring) and record the temperature when crystals appear.
  7. For the most commonly used solids, between 1g and 5g of the solid is placed in 10 g of water. If no crystallisation was observed in step 6, try again with more solid - and if the solid did not all dissolve on heating then use less solid and try again.
23
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 1

A
  1. Weigh a clean, dry boiling tube.
24
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 2

A

Add some solid (see step 7) and reweigh the boiling tube.

25
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 3

A

Add 10 cm3 of deionised water to the boiling tube from a pipette (a burette can be used). Using a pipette is an accurate way of measuring a volume of a liquid. Liguids are drawn up (sucked up) into the pipette using a pipette filler.

26
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 4

A

a thermometer in the boiling tube.

27
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 5

A

Heat the boiling tube in a water bath until all the crystals dissolve. Stir gently using the thermometer.

28
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 6

A

Allow the solution to cool slowly (while still stirring) and record the temperature when crystals appear.

29
Q

method of determining the solubility of a solid step 7

A

For the most commonly used solids, between 1g and 5g of the solid is placed in 10 g of water. If no crystallisation was observed in step 6, try again with more solid - and if the solid did not all dissolve on heating then use less solid and try again.

30
Q

Calculating solubility values

A

The data obtained from solubility experiments are usually the mass of solid, the mass of water and the temperature. These are the three pieces of information required to calculate a solubility value.

31
Q

What are the three pieces of information required to calculate a solubility value?

A
  • the mass of solid
  • the mass of water
  • the temperature
32
Q

Determining the mass of crystals formed on cooling a saturated solution

A

Determining the mass of crystals formed on cooling a saturated solution
When a saturated solution cools down, the solubility of a solid decreases as the temperature decreases.
The difference between the solubility values at two different temperatures is the mass of solid formed on cooling a saturated solution containing
100 g of water.

34
Q

How to plot solubility values: y-axis

A

Solubility (g/100g water)

35
Q

What happens when a saturated solution cools down?

A

Solubility of solid decreases as temp decreases : 🌡️⬇️ = 💦⬇️
