Why Is Sodium Carbonate Be Very Soluble In Water
Unit 4: Solutions and Solubility

Lesson 13 Key Questions:

42. a) Cloudy pond water – Heterogenous, light cannot pass though, can see different parts.
b) Apple Juice – Solution, organic apple particles(solute), and water(solvent).
c) Rainwater – Solution, CO2, hydrogen(solute), and water(solvent).
d) 14-karat gold in jewelry – Heterogenous, light cannot pass through. Just because light can’t pass through, doesn’t mean it’s not a solution! Gold is a solid solution – it is different metals mixed together, but when you observe it, only one phase is visible.

43. Sodium Carbonate will be very soluble in water because of the positive ions of sodium attached to the negative ions of the carbonate. Methanol will be partly soluble in water due to it’s small size and the presence of the OH group in the molecule and it’s very polar nature. Gasoline (Octane), is completely insoluble since it is non-polar.

a) Sodium Carbonate: Na2CO3  CO2 + Na2O
b) Magnesium Chloride: 2MgCl2  Mg2 + 4Cl
c)Ammonium Hydroxide: NH4OH  H2O + NH3

You did not show any ionic charges on the products. All of these compounds are ionic compounds  they will simply separate into the ions, there will be no new molecules made, as you have indicated in parts and c. Lastly, for B, there was no need to add 2 as a coefficient  Mg is a metal, it does not exist as a diatomic molecule.

45. Both covalent and ionic substances allow water to surround it, and hydrate the substance. It is just that eventually the water breaks apart ionic substances, and covalent substances just continue to be hydrated without dissociating. Ok, but why does water surround the particles? How do the particles become spread out in the solution?

    6. Something that is hydrophobic will not dissolve in water. Explain why it does not and give an example of a hydrophobic substance. Hydropobic substances will not dissolve/ dissocaite in water because they are nonionic, nonpolar, or cannot form hydrogen bonds for some other reason. A hydrophobic substance’s behavior results the wide-spreadness of relatively nonpolar bonds, which don’t bond well with water, a polar molecule and a hydrphilic substance. Nonpolar covalent bonds are all sharing electrons equally, so there are no positive or negative poles to create attraction. Some examples of hydrophobic substances include: oil, butter, tar, gasoline, and anything else oily or oil…

    Of all the substances, only two were covalent and two were ionic. The ionic substances, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, and salicylic acid, came close to the description you requested. The covalent substances, sucrose and salicylic acid, did not match the descriptions. The best substance would definitely be sodium carbonate, since it passed all the tests. Sodium carbonate had a high melting point, so it will be able to last for a long time in the kiln fire. It also is soluble in water, and not in alcohol allowing flexibility of the variety of pots you can make. Also, sodium carbonate is a conductive substance, especially when it is dissolved in water. Other substances like salicylic acid dissolved in water, had low boiling point, and was soluble in alcohol. Sodium chloride did have a high melting point, but it was soluble in alcohol. Sucrose was soluble in water as well, but it had a very low melting point. All the substances except for sodium carbonate did not pass the requirements, and therefore sodium carbonate is the best possible substance.…
