  • Which of the following ions always form soluble ionic compounds?
    Group 1A ions, ammonium, nitrate, acetate, chlorate, and perchlorate always form soluble compounds.
  • Which chemical equation represents a precipitation reaction?
    An equation where two soluble salts react to form an insoluble product (precipitate), e.g., AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl(s) + NaNO3.
  • Which one of the following substances would be the most soluble in CCl4?
    Nonpolar substances are most soluble in CCl4.
  • Which one of the following compounds is insoluble in water?
    Compounds with carbonate, phosphate, or sulfide ions (except exceptions) are insoluble.
  • Which of the following is a form of precipitation?
    Formation of an insoluble solid when two solutions are mixed.
  • Which product in the reaction forms a precipitate?
    The insoluble compound formed, such as BaSO4 in Ba^2+ + SO4^2- → BaSO4(s).
  • Which of the following compounds will be most soluble in ethanol (CH3CH2OH)?
    Polar compounds and those capable of hydrogen bonding are most soluble in ethanol.
  • How do you know when a solution is saturated?
    A solution is saturated when no more solute can dissolve and excess remains undissolved.
  • Which statement describes a system that consists of sugar crystals dissolving in water?
    Sugar dissolves by forming hydrogen bonds with water, creating a homogeneous solution.
  • Mixing which of the following solutions will result in the formation of a precipitate?
    Mixing solutions that produce an insoluble product, such as AgNO3 and NaCl (AgCl precipitates).
  • Is the solution unsaturated?
    A solution is unsaturated if more solute can still dissolve.
  • Which of the following expressions is generally used for solubility?
    Solubility is often expressed in grams of solute per 100 g of solvent or molarity.
  • Wax is a nonpolar substance. In which type of substance is it the most soluble?
    Wax is most soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane.
  • What is one way to increase the solubility of sugar in water?
    Increasing the temperature increases sugar's solubility in water.
  • Which of the following molecules is least soluble in water?
    Nonpolar molecules are least soluble in water.
  • What is the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance called?
    This ability is called solubility.
  • When salt dissolves in water, what happens?
    Salt dissociates into ions, which are surrounded by water molecules.
  • What is an insoluble compound that forms during a chemical reaction?
    An insoluble compound formed is called a precipitate.
  • When will a salt become less soluble in water?
    A salt may become less soluble at lower temperatures or if the product is an insoluble compound.
  • Which of the following will increase the solubility of CO2 (g)?
    Increasing pressure or decreasing temperature increases CO2 solubility.
