PLS HELP ME TO LIST DOWN SOME FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SOLUBILITY OF A GIVEN SOLVENT
2006-08-02 14:50:11 · 7 answers · asked by Anonymous in Science & Mathematics ➔ Chemistry
Ocean water, air, steel, carbonated water
Homogeneous mixtures containing two or more substances = solute(s) and solvent
Can be solid, liquid, or gas, but most are liquids
Water = universal solvent
Some definitions
Soluble: able to dissolve in a solvent
Sugar is soluble in water.
Insoluble: unable to dissolve in a solvent
Sand is insoluble in water.
Immiscible: two liquids that are insoluble
Oil and vinegar are immiscible
Miscible: two liquids soluble in each other
Water and ethylene glycol (antifreeze) are miscible.
Solvation in Aqueous Solutions
Solvation: the process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution
Let me explain…
"like dissolves like"
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds

polarity- polarity of the solvent affects how well certain polarity solutes willl dissolve. temperature - in a liquid solvent, increases solubility of liquids and solids, but decreases solubility of gases. In a gas solution, it doesnt affect anything. In a solid sulution it increases solubility in most phases. Pressure can increase solubility as it drives more solute into the spaces between solvents to reduce system stress.

The solvent is the liquid that a solute dissolves in; water makes a good solvent because its molecule is slightly bi-polar(has a negative charge on one side,and a positive charge on the other). This has an effect on ionic compounds.e.g.sodium chloride,which itself,is held together by negative and positive charges. Water is not a good solvent for covalent compounds as these are not held together by opposite charges;ethanol could be used to dissolve these. Each would be increased with higher temperatures by different amounts.

The polarity of the solvent and the solution could also affect the solubility. Also, as this website explains, temperature and the size of the molecules also affect solubility.

Firstly you mean solute. Solute is the thing you dissolve and solvent is he thing you dissolve it in. Sugar is a solute and water a solvent.
The amount you can dissolve will simply depend on which solvent you chose (eg water, alcohol, petrol) and the temperature (generally more dissolves at higher temperature)
I hope your question wasn't "How fast will a solvent dissolve a given solute" because that is different.

Nature of the solute and the temperature of the solvent.

ph(?), temperature, molarity, entropy and pressure if its a gas.
