With pride and much anticipation, we announce the opening of Caesarstoneâs state-of-the-art Factory in Richmond Hill, Georgia on May 27, 2015 | Caesarstone is available throughout the US!
Polar substances are likely to dissolve in polar solvents. For example, ionic compounds, which are very polar, are often soluble in the polar solvent water. Nonpolar substances are likely to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.or example, the solution of sodium hydroxide is exothermic, and the solution of sodium chloride is somewhat endothermic. Even if the solution is slightly endothermic, the tendency to shift to the higher entropy solution often makes ionic compounds soluble in water.
The solubilities of ionic compounds are affected by solute-solvent interactions, the common ion effect, and temperature. Strong solute-solvent attractions increase solubility of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are most soluble in polar solvents like water, because the ions of the solid are strongly attracted to the polar solvent molecules. COMMON-ION EFFECT. Ionic compounds are less soluble is solvents that contain a common ion. For example, CaSOâ is slightly soluble in water. CaSOâ(s) â CaÂ²âº(aq) + SOâÂ²â»(aq) If the water already contains calcium ions or sulfate ions, the position of equilibrium moves to the left and the solubility decreases (Le ChÃ¢telierâs Principle).
