Solubility and Saturation Flashcards
soluble
more than 1g of solute dissolves in 100 mL of solvent at room temperature
insoluble
less than 1g of solute dissolves in 100 mL of solvent at room temperature
what affects solutbility?
- molecule size
- ion charge and size
- temperature
- pressure
solubility
the quantity of solute that can dissolve in a gien quantity of solvent at a given temperature
how is solubility expressed?
as a maximum mass of solute that can be dissolved per 100g of solvent at a given temperature.
How does molecule size affect the solutbility of a covalent substance?
small molecules are often more soluble that larger molecules
most alkali metal compounds are soluble in water
solfide and phosphates are usually insoluble in water
How does the ion charge affect solubility?
soluble
smaller the ionic charge the more soluble a substance is, the larger the ionic charge the greater the force that holds ions together.
small ion charge = soluble
large ion charge = insoluble
smaller the ion NOT CHARGE, the stronger the force. compounds with small ions tend to be less soluble than those with large ions Why?
small ions bond more closely together than large ions, bunds between small ions is stronger than bond between large ions with same charge
How does temperature impact the solubility of solids?
solubility increases with temeperature, higher temperature means more energy to break the bonds
How does temperature impact the solubility of liquids?
not greatly affected by temperature, addtional energy to break bonds not needed
How does temperature impact the solubility of gases?
solubility of gases descreases with higher temperature
how to changes in pressure affect solubility for liquids and solids?
