defend or refute....

Ionic compounds are soluble in water because of the large decrease in entropy that occurs upon mixing.

I think we are refuting this statement but i'm not really sure why. please explain!

Answer #1

Ionic compound are soluble in water increasing entropy it is favor the disolve salts in water. But decreases the entropy it is not spontaneous . When decreases the entropy form order arrangement of ions. So they are not soluble in water.

    Recrystallization of Acetanilide was conducted using water as our solvent. First we had to choose a solvent based (water was chosen as our solvent due to it not dissolving acetanilide at room temp but dissolved it when heated) Then we performed recrystallizaation, vacuum filtration and then melting point measurements. For the post lab discussion for recrystallization of acetanilide report we have to address several different arguments. The ones below I'm not sure what to focus on to completely defend what...

    Chromatography: Separating Mixtures Introduction: Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation, you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink. You can also calculate a ratio Rf, which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment. Rf = Ds/Df Ds = Distance traveled by...

    Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
