Solubility of Organic Compounds Flashcards
The _______ of a compound depends on the type of bonds present in the molecule
chemical behavior
Compounds are grouped according to their _______.
functional groups
_______________ test for the different functional groups have been developed to be carried out easily and quickly
Standard chemical tests
The positive signs to look for include the ff:
- change in color
- evolution of gas
- development of odor
- formation of precipitate
- changes in color of litmus paper
Solvent-Solvent Interaction + Solute-Solute Interaction < Solute-Solvent Interaction (Energy - releasing)
Energy Considerations (Enthalpy)
Maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at certain temperature
Solubility
It is affected by nature of solute and solvent, temperature, pH, and pressure.
Solubility
Can be dissolved (used for solid solutes)
Soluble
Can be dissolved (used for liquid solutes)
Miscible
heat was absorbed from the surrounding (decrease in temperature)
Endothermic
heat was released to the surrounding (increase in temperature)
Exothermic
As the randomness or degree of disorder increases in a system during a process, the higher the tendency for the process to occur spontaneously.
Degree of Disorder (Entropy)
macroscopic region in matter that is homogeneous in terms of physical properties and composition
Phase in Dissolution Process
violet color dispersed formation of a uniform mixture one phase observed
KMnO4 in H2O of Dissolution Process
In the solubility of organic compounds, polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents. While, nonpolar or weakly polar compounds dissolve in nonpolar or weakly polar solvents.
True or False
True (due to the Rule of thumb: “Like dissolves like”
In the solubility of organic compounds, most ionic compounds are soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvent
True or False
True
In the solubility of organic compounds, for an organic compound with one functional group, a compound is water soluble only if it has <5 C atoms and contains O or N atoms.
True or False
True
In the solubility of organic compounds, organic compounds are soluble in organic solvents regardless.
True or False
True
The factor in which a given substance reduces the electrostatic force between charged bodies separated by a vacuum.
Dielectric constant
- Solubility of gases in liquids increases with increasing pressure.
- Increase in pressure – increases the number of collisions of gas particles with the surface of the liquid.
- The quantity of dissolved gas increases, thus, the solubility of gases in liquids increases with increasing pressure.
Pressure (for liquid solutions where solute is a gas)
- Solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature.
- Solubility of solids in liquids may either increase or decrease depending on whether the solution process is endothermic or exothermic.
- Endothermic - ↑T ↑solubility
- Exothermic - ↑T ↓solubility
- In general, the solubility of a solid increases with increasing temperature.
Temperature
Acetic is ______ in water and _______ ether.

Benzoic acid is ______- in water and ___________ in ether
insoluble and soluble
Sodium benzoate is _______ in water and _________ in ether
soluble and insoluble
