Study Notes

  • Ionic compounds dissolve in solvents with high dielectric constants, such as water, due to its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds.

  • In solution, ions are surrounded by a cluster of solvent molecules and are referred to as solvated or hydrated.

  • Electrostatic attraction between ions and solvent molecules results in the formation of ion-dipole bonds.

  • Solubility is the most important principle for techniques like crystallization, extraction, and chromatography in organic chemistry.

  • Non-ionic compounds' solubility is determined by their polarity.

  • Non-polar or weakly polar compounds dissolve in non-polar or weakly polar solvents, while highly polar compounds dissolve in highly polar solvents.

  • Solubility is the extent to which a substance dissolves in a solvent and is expressed in grams per liter or milligrams per milliliter.

  • Water is a superior solvent for ionic substances due to its high dielectric constant, polarity, and ability to form hydrogen bonds.

  • Two liquids that are miscible will mix homogeneously in all proportions, while immiscible liquids will not mix homogeneously and will form separate layers.

  • The polarity of a compound is determined by the presence of polar bonds and the shape of the molecule.

  • Hydrocarbons are nonpolar, while compounds with electronegative elements like oxygen or nitrogen are polar.

  • Halogen atoms do not significantly alter the polarity of an organic compound, making them only slightly polar.

  • The polarity of certain compounds is more similar to that of nonpolar hydrocarbons than to water's highly polar nature.

  • Adding carbon atoms to a compound's chain within the same family decreases its polarity, making it more hydrocarbon-like.

  • Compounds with four or fewer carbons and oxygen or nitrogen functional groups are generally soluble in water.

  • Hydrogen bonding between solute and solvent can increase solubility for compounds of similar polarity.

  • Branching of the alkyl chain in a compound lowers intermolecular forces, leading to greater solubility in water for branched compounds.

  • Most compounds within the same family have similar polarity, but exceptions may occur due to significant size differences.

  • Ionic compounds, including some organic ones, are highly soluble in water due to the strong attraction between ions and polar water molecules.

  • Organic compounds become ions primarily through acid-base reactions, such as carboxylic acids forming water-soluble salts.

  • Water-soluble organic compounds typically have a polar group that forms a hydrogen bond with water, such as alcohols or carboxylic acids.

  • Carboxylic acids and phenols dissolve in sodium hydroxide due to the formation of their water-soluble sodium salts.

  • In aqueous sodium bicarbonate, carboxylic acids dissolve due to forming their water-soluble sodium salts, while phenols usually do not deprotonate in this medium.

  • Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides are generally insoluble in water.
