How Could A Substance's Ability To Dissolve

Decent Essays
Finding how could a substance’s ability to dissolve effects by the temperature of water using ammonium chloride, which is a solid that has high solubility in water. Solubility is the ability for a substances, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. Solute is the substance dissolved in the solvent, and solvent is the substance that is dissolving the solute. So the solute will be ammonium chloride and solvent will be the water. Solution is what they created after the solute dissolved in solvent. Saturation is when a solution of a substance cannot dissolve anymore of the substance. Factors that could affect solubility are the temperature of the water and the speed of stirring.

    These results show that the gummy bear was hypertonic compared to the pure water solution but was hypotonic to the 30% and 50% salt water concentrated solutions. Thus, in order to create an equilibrium in these solutions, water flowed into the gummy bear in the first solution and flowed out of the gummy bear in the other two solutions. In brief, the higher the solute concentration in comparison to the gummy bear, the more the water would flow out to create a isotonic solution due to the process of…

    Increasing the temperature of a solvent speeds up the movement of its particles. This speeding up will cause more solvent particles to collide into the solute. Under those circumstances, solute particles end up breaking loose and dissolve faster. Temperature usually affects solubility rates. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy.…

    The theoretical concepts that underlie the Hot Ice experiment involve a supercooled, supersaturated aqueous solution becoming a solid. When a liquid is cooled beyond its freezing point but remains liquid is known as supercooling or undercooling, and being supersaturated occurs when the solutes in a solution exceed the saturation point. The sodium acetate in a supercooled state will rapidly change into a solid with the addition of physical energy or a nucleation site. During the transformation of the liquid supercooled solution into solid crystalline formation produces heat in an exothermic reaction, hence the name hot ice.…

    The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…

    The Calorimetric Determination of Enthalpy and Entropy Changes of the Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Sulphate Decahydrate Abstract Sodium sulphate decahydrate thermally decomposes to anhydrous sodium sulphate at 50⁰ C and cools to form anhydrous sodium sulphate. Using Hess's Law the enthalpy and entropy changes of this process can be determined in order to deduce the spontaneity of the reaction. The transition temperature was determined by melting the hydrated crystals at 50⁰ C and allowing them to cool until a constant temperature was reached. The molar enthalpy and molar entropy changes were determined using calorimetric principles. Different weights of both decahydrate and anhydrous crystals were added to water and the temperature changes…
