How Substances Dissolve (VCE SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

The substance being dissolved

A solution where water is the solvent

Process of a substance dissolving in another

Polar dissolves polar/ionic; non-polar dissolves non-polar

Liquids that dissolve in each other

Must be similar to or greater than Forces A and B

$\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$, formed when $\text{H}^+$ joins water

New ions formed by molecule reacting with water

Attraction between an ion and a polar molecule

Ionisation creates new ions; dissociation frees existing ions
