Interpretation:
The same solid readily dissolve in one liquid and be almost insoluble in another liquid; the reason has to be explained with an example.
Concept introduction:
Like dissolves like principle:‘Like dissolves like’ principle says that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent. Likewise, non–polar compound should be more soluble in non–polar solvent.
Solubility is the quantity of solute (solid, liquid or gas) that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent (solid, liquid or gas) at definite temperature and pressure. Solubility depends on the physical and chemical property of solvent, solute and concentration of the solution.

- Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardThe solubility of lead nitrate at 100C is 140.0 g/100 g water. A solution at 100C consists of 57.0 g of lead nitrate in 64.0 g of water. When the solution is cooled 10C to 25.0 g of lead nitrate crystallize out. What is the solubility of lead nitrate in g/100 g water at 10C?arrow_forwardPure iodine (105 g) is dissolved in 325 g of CCl4 at 65 C. Given that the vapor pressure of CCl4 at this temperature is 531 mm Hg, what is the vapor pressure of the CCl4-I2 solution at 65 C? (Assume that I2 does not contribute to the vapor pressure.)arrow_forward
- Consider this information regarding two compounds. Thallium azide: yellow crystalline solid; melting point = 330 C; slightly soluble in water, more soluble in hot water; insoluble in ethanol or diethyl ether. Camphene: colorless, cubic crystals; melting point = 51 C; boiling point = 159 C; insoluble in water; moderately soluble in ethanol; soluble in diethyl ether. (a) Is camphene an ionic or molecular compound? Explain your answer. (b) Is thallium azide an ionic or molecular compound? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardConsider two hypothetical pure substances, AB(s) and XY(s). When equal molar amounts of these substances are placed in separate 500-mL samples of water, they undergo the following reactions: AB(s)A+(aq)+B(aq)XY(s)XY(aq) a Which solution would you expect to have the lower boiling point? Why? b Would you expect the vapor pressures of the two solutions to be equal? If not, which one would you expect to have the higher vapor pressure? c Describe a procedure that would make the two solutions have the same boiling point. d If you took 250 mL of the AB(aq) solution prepared above, would it have the same boiling point as the original solution? Be sure to explain your answer. e The container of XY(aq) is left out on the bench top for several days, which allows some of the water to evaporate from the solution. How would the melting point of this solution compare to the melting point of the original solution?arrow_forwardFluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
- If a substance has a positive enthalpy of solution, which would likely cause more of it to dissolve, hot solvent or cold solvent? Explain.arrow_forwardMaple syrup sap is 3% sugar (sucrose) and 97% water bymass. Maple syrup is produced by heating the sap toevaporate a certain amount of the water. (a) Describe what happens to the composition and boilingpoint of the solution as evaporation takes place. (b) A rule of thumb among maple syrup producers is thatthe finished syrup should boil about 4 C higher than theoriginal sap being boiled. Explain the chemistry behindthis guideline. (c) If the finished product boils 4 C higher than the originalsap, calculate the concentration of sugar in the finalproduct. Assume that sugar is the only solute and theoperation is done at 1 atm pressure.arrow_forwardIn your own words, explain why (a) seawater has a lower freezing point than fresh water. (b) salt is added to the ice in an ice cream maker to freeze the ice cream faster.arrow_forward
