10 Questions
What is the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature called?
Solubility
Why does naphthalene dissolve readily in benzene but not in water?
Because naphthalene is non-polar and benzene is non-polar.
What process is known as the stage when the concentration of solute in solution remains constant under given conditions?
Dynamic equilibrium
What are the intermolecular interactions like between a polar solute and a polar solvent?
Similar
What is the process known as when some solute particles in solution collide with solid solute particles and get separated out of solution?
Crystallisation
What happens when a solid solute is added to the solvent?
The concentration of solute in solution increases.
Why do sugar and sodium chloride dissolve readily in water?
Because they are polar and water is polar.
What happens when a stage is reached where the dissolution and crystallisation processes occur at the same rate?
The concentration of solute in solution remains constant.
What are the factors upon which solubility depends?
The nature of the solvent, temperature, and pressure
Why does every solid not dissolve in a given liquid?
The intermolecular interactions prevent certain solids from dissolving.
Explore the factors affecting the solubility of substances in liquid solutions, such as the nature of solute and solvent, temperature, and pressure. Learn about the varying solubility of different substances in water and understand the concept of saturation in solutions.
