Chapter 13, Problem 13QRT

Interpretation Introduction

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.
