For a substance to dissolve in a liquid, it must be capable of disrupting the solvent structure and permit the bonding of solvent molecules to the solute or its component ions. The forces binding the ions, atoms or molecules in the lattice oppose the tendency of a crystalline solid to enter solution. The solubility of a solid is thus determined by the resultant of these opposing effects. The solubility of a solute in a given solvent is defined as the concentration of that solute in its saturated solution. A saturated solution is one that is in equilibrium with excess solute present. The solution is still referred to as saturated, even... 

The first electrolytic theoiy was expounded in 1805 by Christian Grothuss who postulated that an electric field rotates the molecules so that their positive and negative components ( ions ) face their... 

Figure 14 reproduces the two curves of Fig. 13, upon which we now make some further comments. The four quantities AF that n up the cycle are indicated in Fig. 14 by the four arrows a, b, c, d. From the form of the diagram it is obvious that, whatever qus ties these four arrows represent, it must be true in every case (c + d) = (a + 6). This must be so for any crystal dissolving in solvent at any temperature. Let us now recall what quantities denoted by the four arrows. Of these a is Lvac, the work require split the crystal at 0°K into its component ions, while b represents free energy of the crystal at room temperature. Neither of these qu< ties depends on the solvent into which the ions are going to be dissol... 

We may recall that in the NaCl crystal structure each positive ion is surrounded by six negative ions, while each negative ion is surrounded by six positives as a result the crystal can be broken up into its component ions only if work is done equal to the crystal energy. In a dilute solution wc find a tendency toward a somewhat similar situation each positive ion is surrounded by a cloud of negative charge, while at the same time each negative ion is surrounded by a cloud of positive charge ... 

The reverse of Example 16.4 involves finding Rq, of a compound given its solubility. The solubilities of many ionic compounds are determined experimentally and tabulated in chemical handbooks. Most solubility values are given in grams of solute dissolved in 100 grams of water. To obtain the molar solubility in moles/L, we have to assume that the density of the solution is equal to that of water. Then the number of grams of solute per 100 g water is equal to the number of grams of solute per 100 mL of solution. This assumption is valid because the mass of the compound in solution is small. To solve for IQp, find the molar solubility of the solute and determine the concentration of its component ions. Substitute into the IQp expression. 

The structure of the crystal has a tendency to utilize steric similarity of its component ions and is defined by the number of anions (oxygen and fluorine) per cation in each oxyfluoride octahedron. 

An alternate possibility is that one of the component ions of the salt is actually involved in the rate-determining transition state and can catalyze the reaction as does the second molecule of amine. This possibility is supported by the fact that at constant initial concentrations of the substrate and the amine and variable salt concentrations, the experimental data also give a linear plot of k versus the initial concentration of the salt. 

Dissolution of a mineral occurs when the crystal lattice breaks down and it separates into its component ions in water. Minerals most affected are salts, sulfates, and carbonates. For example, calcite dissolution is described by... 

Movement of carbonates and salts can also occur in a similar fashion. As these minerals are weathered in the upper soil profile, their component ions go into solution and are moved down through the soil by rainfall entering the soil. As the water moves down the soil there may not be enough water to move the ions out of the soil, so they precipitate in a lower horizon where they accumulate. Such accumulations are common in arid environments with limited rainfall. In high rainfall areas, carbonates and salts are usually completely removed from the soil through leaching. 

Good agreement of the observed limiting equivalent conductances with the predicted values indicates that the component ions exist in DMSO without significant deterioration under argon. It was also shown that [l 2 ] and [24+2 ] are dissociated to more than 99% in DMSO over a concentration range 10-" -10- m. 

The interactions between electrode metals and solvents are reflected in the adsorption and catalytic properties. The adsorption of other solution components (ions and neutral molecules other than the solvent) is attended by a displacement of adsorbed solvent molecules or their reorientation. Therefore, a metal s adsorptive power is low under conditions where its energy of interaction with the solvent is high. 

The solubility of hydrated copper sulfate (CuS04 5H20) provides a simple example of how the solubility of a compound can be manipulated. CuS04 5H20 itself is very soluble in water, exhibiting an equilibrium solubility of 207 mg/ml at 20°C [44]. This high solubility is due to the dissociation of copper sulfate into its component ions upon dissolution into an aqueous solution ... 

We now need to separate all the strong electrolytes into their component ions. We may begin with any category of strong electrolyte. In these examples, we will begin with the strong acids. Below each of the strong acids, we will write the separated ions ... 

Ion-pair formation needs its due recognition because it very often gives rise to unexpected extractions. In true sense, ion-pair may be regarded as a close association of an anion and cation, and therefore, it usually takes place either in a polar or a non-polar solvent. In reality, the ion-pairs are invariably formed by virtue of the union between comparatively large organic anions and (much smaller) cations. Interestingly, the resulting ion-pairs have been found to show their appreciable solubility in polar solvents and hence, these species may be extracted conveniently under such experimental parameters where neither individual component ion could. 

The fact that the largest polarity has been ascribed to three different substances makes it necessary to clarify on which properties of the component ions the polarity of such molecules depends. It will be attempted to render this analysis as quantitative as possible although it is realized that a precise theory cannot be proposed at this time. 

The consideration of the polarity of the binding in molecules is especially important in connection with the study of the mutual deformation or polarization of the component ions. On the occasion of the first systematic consideration of this phenomenon only the effect of cations on anions... 

The values of r and /a are from Ref. 8, Table 3. e For doubly-doubly charged component ions p = /t/2 r. d The initials refer, as in Table 2, to the authors whose a values were used. 

In addition to the formation of ceramic particles in the gas phase, particles can be formed in the liquid phase and consolidated via solvent evaporation to form useful products. Unlike slurry-based processes in which no liquid-phase reaction occurs, the processing of ceramics via the sol-gel method involves several important reactions. And like gas-phase reactions, the ceramics are formed from precursors that contain the component ions for the ceramic. 

Chemistry is often conducted in aqueous solutions. Soluble ionic compounds dissolve into their component ions, and these ions can react to form new products. In these kinds of reactions, sometimes only the cation or anion of a dissolved compound reacts. The other ion merely watches the whole affair, twiddling its charged thumbs in electrostatic boredom. These uninvolved ions cire called spectator ions. 

Rewrite the equation, explicitly separating dissolved ionic compounds into their component ions. 

The electrical conductivity.—E. Klein10 showed that if there is a difference between the conductivity of a mixture of salts in soln. and the mean conductivities of the separate constituents, a double salt is probably formed. The molecular conductivity of a salt, and if possible of its components at different dilutions, has been employed to determine the number of component ions in a soln. it was used, for example, by A. Werner (1893-1901) with the cobalt, chromium, platinum, and other ammines.11 In moderately cone. soln. the double salts are but little ionized, and the difference between the conductivities of eq. soln. of potassium zinc chloride, ZnCl2.2KCl, and of the sum of the constituents amounts to nearly 36 per cent., a value which is greatly in excess of that whieh would be due to the mutual influence of salts with a common ion. Tables of the molecular conductivities of salts show that with very few exceptions, at a dilution of 1024 litres and 25°, most salts have conductivities approximating those indicated in Table XIX.

The solubility of a substance in a solvent is the result of the competition between the energy required to break down the crystal lattice and that acquired by solvation of the substance or its component ions. 

We summarize what is special with these prototype fast ion conductors with respect to transport and application. With their quasi-molten, partially filled cation sublattice, they can function similar to ion membranes in that they filter the mobile component ions in an applied electric field. In combination with an electron source (electrode), they can serve as component reservoirs. Considering the accuracy with which one can determine the electrical charge (10 s-10 6 A = 10 7 C 10-12mol (Zj = 1)), fast ionic conductors (solid electrolytes) can serve as very precise analytical tools. Solid state electrochemistry can be performed near room temperature, which is a great experimental advantage (e.g., for the study of the Hall-effect [J. Sohege, K. Funke (1984)] or the electrochemical Knudsen cell [N. Birks, H. Rickert (1963)]). The early volumes of the journal Solid State Ionics offer many pertinent applications.
