Study Notes

Solubility and Temperature

  • Solubility of a substance depends on its intrinsic properties and the solvent used.
  • The extent of solubility is measured by the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Enthalpy Change and Temperature

  • The van 't Hoff equation relates the change in temperature to the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the process: ΔH = R * lnKeq / (1/T1 - 1/T2).
  • The equation indicates that a change in temperature affects the equilibrium constant (Keq) and subsequently the solubility of a substance.

Vant Hoff's Equation

  • ln 𝑆 represents the natural logarithm of the solubility (𝑆) in Vant Hoff's equation.
  • 'S' in Vant Hoff's equation stands for solubility.

Temperature and Solubility

  • Temperature plays a significant role in determining solubility, as a change in temperature can alter the solubility of a substance.

Experimental Procedure

  • Labeling beakers is important to avoid contamination and ensure accurate results in the experimental procedure for determining the heat of solution.
  • The equipment used in the experimental procedure includes a polystyrene calorimeter, a thermometer, and a stirrer, among others. The equipment NOT mentioned is a burette.
