Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The solubility behaviour of pyridine in terms of its intermolecular forces is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Solubility is the chemical property of any substance due to which it dissolves in other substances. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent. It depends on the intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher will be the solubility.
The intermolecular forces are the forces that act between molecules, atoms or ions. They are relatively weak forces of attraction.
The five types of intermolecular forces are as follows:
1. Hydrogen bonding
2. Ionic bonding
3. Ion-dipole forces
4. Ion-induced dipole forces
5. van der Waals forces.
