Solubility

The amount of solute that dissolves per litre of saturated solution.

Saturated solution

A solution where no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

Solubility (s)

The concentration of solute in a saturated solution; often expressed in mol/L

Study Notes

Introduction to Solubility

  • Science knows no country, knowledge belongs to humanity.
  • This was stated by Louis Pasteur.

Solubility

  • Solubility is the amount of solute that dissolves per liter of saturated solution.
  • Slightly soluble ionic compounds only dissolve partially in solution.
  • An equilibrium is formed between the solid and ions.

Solubility Equilibrium

  • Saturated solution has solubility.
  • Using the values of ions to calculate equilibrium (Ksp)

Examples of Solubility Equilibria and Ksp Values

  • A table of different solutes along with their solubility equilibrium reaction and Ksp value at 25°C is provided.

Solubility: Type 1 Example

  • Consider PbCl₂ dissolving in water.
  • Calculate Ksp if molar solubility is 0.00130 mol/L.
  • This shows a calculation process for Ksp using molar solubility.

Solubility: Type 2 Example

  • Consider Ag₂CrO₄ dissolving in water.
  • Calculate molar solubility if Ksp is 1.1×10⁻¹².
  • This shows a calculation process for molar solubility using Ksp.

Solubility: Practice

  • Identify the ionic compound with Ksp = 4s3 from a list of options.
  • Shows the calculations behind finding the correct answer.

Precipitation Reaction

  • Precipitation reaction occurs when two aqueous salt solutions are mixed and a precipitate forms.
  • It's not a true equilibrium.

Predicting Precipitation

  • Ways to predict if a precipitate will form is by knowing the solubility of inorganic compounds.
  • Two categories: soluble and sparingly (slightly) soluble.

Solubility Rules

  • Table outlining soluble and insoluble ionic compounds, and important exceptions.

Solubility: Practice Question

  • Predict the outcome when sodium bromide and lead nitrate solutions are mixed.
  • Shows the balanced chemical equation.
  • The rules are referred to for determining if the outcome is soluble or insoluble.

Solubility and Q

  • Q has the same formula as Ksp.
  • Values are initial concentrations.
  • Solutions and their characteristics based on how Q relates to Ksp: unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated.

Solubility: Practice

  • Determine the minimum [Cl⁻] required to begin precipation of Hg₂Cl₂ given [Hg₂²⁺] is 0.010 M

Solubility: Example 1

  • Calculate the minimum [Cl⁻] required to begin precipitation of Hg₂Cl₂ given [Hg₂²⁺] is 0.010 M

Solubility

  • The exothermic crystallization of supersaturated sodium acetate solutions is the chemistry behind reusable hand warmers.

Solubility: Example 2

  • Calculate molar solubility of PbCrO₄ in 0.100 M Na₂CrO₄ if Ksp = 2.8 x 10⁻¹³.

Solubility: Practice

  • Improve the quality of X-ray photos by adding compounds to a BaSO₄ suspension to control the Ba²⁺ concentration since Ba²⁺ is toxic.
  • Determining the best compound from a list.

Solubility

  • pH can affect the solubility of some compounds.
  • Consider the Co(OH)₂ equilibrium example.

Solubility: Practice

  • Determine how many compounds in a list would be less soluble in a pH 10.00 buffer than in pure water.
