25 Questions
Why do polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents?
Because they have similar intermolecular interactions
What is the process known as when some solute particles in solution collide with the solid solute particles and get separated out of solution?
Crystallisation
What is solubility?
The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature
Under what conditions does a state of dynamic equilibrium occur?
When the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of crystallisation
Which type of solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents?
Non-polar solutes
What happens to the concentration of solute in a solution at the stage of dynamic equilibrium?
It remains constant
What is the nature of the interaction between a solute and a solvent in the statement 'like dissolves like'?
Similar intermolecular interactions
What does the process of dissolution involve?
The formation of a solution from a solute and a solvent
Why do some solids dissolve readily in one liquid but not in another?
Due to differences in the nature of the solid, liquid, and their intermolecular interactions
What is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent called?
The solubility of the solute
What factor does solubility depend upon?
Temperature, pressure, and the nature of solute and solvent
Which statement best describes the process of crystallisation?
It is the process of separating solute particles out of the solution
In the statement 'like dissolves like', what does 'like' refer to?
Similar intermolecular interactions
What happens to the concentration of solute in a solution at the stage of dynamic equilibrium?
It remains constant
Which type of solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents?
Non-polar solutes
What does the process of dissolution involve?
The dissolving of solute particles in the solvent
What is observed about the dissolution of polar solutes and non-polar solutes in polar solvents and non-polar solvents, respectively?
'Like' substances dissolve each other
What is the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature called?
Solubility
Which type of solute dissolves in non-polar solvents according to the 'like dissolves like' principle?
Non-polar solutes
What is the process known as when some solute particles in solution collide with the solid solute particles and get separated out of solution?
Crystallization
Under what conditions does a state of dynamic equilibrium occur in the dissolution process?
When the two processes of dissolution and crystallization occur at the same rate
What happens to the concentration of solute in a solution at the stage of dynamic equilibrium?
It remains constant under the given conditions
Why do some solids dissolve readily in one liquid but not in another?
Due to differences in intermolecular interactions
What factor does solubility depend upon?
Temperature, pressure, nature of solute, and nature of solvent
What is observed about the dissolution of polar solutes and non-polar solutes in polar solvents and non-polar solvents, respectively?
Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents.
