Hydration

The process where water molecules surround and attract ions, pulling them apart from the ionic compound.

Dissociation

The separation of individual ions from an ionic compound when it dissolves in water.

Miscible

Describes substances that can mix together completely to form a solution.

Immiscible

Describes substances that cannot mix together to form a solution.

Like Dissolves Like

This rule describes how substances dissolve. Polar solvents, like water, dissolve polar solutes, like sugar. Non-polar solvents, like oil, dissolve non-polar solutes, like fats.

Study Notes

Dissolving Ionic Compounds

  • Water molecules reorient themselves around ions, creating stronger attractions than the ionic bonds holding the ions together.
  • Hydration is the process of surrounding ions with water molecules.
  • Dissociation is the separation of individual ions from an ionic compound as it dissolves in water.
  • Example: NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Dissolving Molecular Compounds

  • Miscible: substances that mix to form a solution (e.g., glucose and water).
  • Immiscible: substances that do not mix to form a solution (e.g., oil and water).

"Likes Dissolve Likes" Principle

  • Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.
  • Nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

Dissolving Process

  • The solvent makes space for the solute, causing them to separate.
  • Forces of attraction between solute and solvent particles cause them to move closer together.
