Chapter 13, Problem 14QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general types of substances that would expect to dissolve readily in water have to be explained.

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.

Polar molecule: Polar molecules have large dipole moments.

Non-Polar molecules: Non-polar molecules have bonded atoms with similar electronegativity results to have zero dipole moments.
