Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason for the miscibility of chloroform and diethylether has to be determined.
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.
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.

- Use molecular structures and noncovalent interactions to explain why dimethyl ether, (CH3)2O, is completely miscible in water, but dimethylsulfide, (CH3)2S, is only slightly water soluble.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_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding solubility of gases in liquids is NOT correct? A. When the Henry’s law constants are given in units of mol/L·atm, larger kH values mean higher solubility. B. The solubility of a gas depends on the identity of the solvent. C. The solubility of gases in water typically decreases as temperature increases. D. The solubility of gases in water typically increases as the mole fraction of the gas above the water’s surface increases. E. The solubility of gases in water typically decreases as the partial pressure of the gas above the water’s surface increasesarrow_forward

The covalent bonds of methnol molecules are nonpolar. you pour crystals of stable salt into each beaker. Why will the table salt dissolve readily in water but will not dissolve in methanol?arrow_forwardA chemistry student weighs out 45. g of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 750. mL of disti some of the X has dissolved. The student drains off the solution, then washes, dries and weighs the X yes Using only the information above, can you calculate x10 the solubility of X in water at 15.° C ? no If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 1 significant digits.arrow_forward
- Calculate the expected change in temperature given the following data: 7.5 g of NH4NO3 dissolved in 100.0 mL of H2O. the molar heat of solution of NH4NO3 is 25.7 kJ/mol. The density of H2O is 1.00 g/mL.arrow_forwardIn an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions), which affects lattice energy (a measure of the force needed to pull ions apart); the lattice energy, in turn, affects the enthalpy of solution. Based on ion sizes, arrange these compounds by their expected heats of solution.
