To understand why things dissolve at all, we will look at the solution formation process from a thermodynamic point of view. shows a thermodynamic cycle that represents the formation of a solution from the isolated solute and solvent. From Hess's law we know that we can add the energies of each step in the cycle to determine the energy of the overall process. Therefore, the energy of solution formation, the enthalpy of solution, equals the sum of the three steps--ΔHsoln = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3

∙ 14y agoThe bonding characteristics of the solute and solvent determine if a solute will dissolve in a given solvent. Typically, the rule "like dissolves like" applies. Substances with like bonds will be soluble in one another. Thus, polar substances dissolve polar substances, while nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances.

∙ 12y agoThe composition of the solvent and the solute determine wether a substance will dissolve. Stirring (agitation), temperrature and the surface area of the dissolving particles determine how fast the substance will dissolve.

Do vacuous compounds dissolve in water?
sodium chloride dissolve in water because of vacuous compound
What is a compound that release ions when they dissolve in water?
acid
Why did the powdered milk molecules dissolve faster in water than oil?
Because water is a polar compound and a universal solvent and it can easily dissolve many things in it while oil is a non-polar compound and it cannot dissolve things in it much fastly.
What dissolves things faster hydrochloric acid or water?
it depends upon what you want to dissolve ie if you want to dissolve a polar compound then hydrochloric acid is good but if you want to dissolve some covalent compound like benzene then water is better than HCl
What is substance that dissolve in water?
substances that dissolve in water include, sugar, salt and others.
What determines whether a compound will dissolve in whether?
The polarity or charges of compounds will determine if a compound would dissolve in water, where compounds with opposite charges within their molecules dissolve in water.
What of compound would be least likely to dissolve in water?
A non polar compound would be least likely to dissolve in water.
The blank force determines wether or not an object will float?
The correct answer is buoyant not put it in water
Do vacuous compounds dissolve in water?
sodium chloride dissolve in water because of vacuous compound
Does water dissolve polar compound?
yes
How do insoluble compound from fram soluble compound?
If you are meaning how does an insoluble compound differ from a soluble compound, an insoluble compound does not dissolve in a given solvent, usually water, and a soluble compound does dissolve.
What is a compound that release ions when they dissolve in water?
acid
What compound is known for its inability to dissolve in water?
phenols
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Why does table salt Na-Cl dissolve readily in water?
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.
What is a hydrophobic compound?
A hydrophobic compound is one that will not dissolve in water, and, if the compound is solid, one on which a drop of liquid water will not spread spontaneously over the surface.
Why did the powdered milk molecules dissolve faster in water than oil?
Because water is a polar compound and a universal solvent and it can easily dissolve many things in it while oil is a non-polar compound and it cannot dissolve things in it much fastly.
