Concept explainers

Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.

(Q53) For what reason is the solubility of gaseous ammonia (NH3) significantly higher than that of hydrogen gas (H2) at the same temperature and pressure? O Because they are both polar molecules, the solute-solvent interactions are higher between ammonia and water than they are between water and hydrogen gas O Ammonia reacts with water primarily through dispersion forces O Ammonia has a relatively high boiling point O Ammonia has a larger molar mass than does hydrogen gas O Ammonia is an inorganic (carbon-free) molecule
