Solubilities water solubility guidelines

Neutralization reactions involving metal hydroxide bases produce a salt and water. CH3COOH is a weak acid (see Table 4-6), and so it is written as formula units. KOH is a strong base (see Table 4-7) and KCH3COO is a soluble salt (solubility guidelines 2 and 3), and so both are written in ionic form. 

The solubility guidelines can be used to design ways of making salts. Suppose that we want to prepare barium sulfate, BaSOq. This substance is opaque to X rays, so it is often used to visualize the intestinal tract. Patients are given a barium cocktail, and then the areas of interest are irradiated. Barium sulfate absorbs the X rays to give a picture of the intestines. Soluble barium salts are poisonous, but BaSOq is insoluble in water, so it can be administered safely. (Only 1.0 X 10" mol dissolves in 1 L ofwaterat25 °C.)... 

Volume of distribution for water-soluble drugs is significantly increased due to edema. Use of dosing guidelines for CKD does not reflect the clearance and volume of distribution in critically ill ARF patients.

Both issues are widely discussed by Rieger,4 who wrote that what is actually measured is pH of the (extractable) water-soluble constituents of skin. Due to that problem, Rieger proposed to call that measured value not pH of the skin but pH on the skin or the apparent pH. That issue is also raised and described by Parra and Paye in guidelines of European Group on Efficacy Measurement of Cosmetics and Other Topical Products (EEMCO).5... 

You will be referring to the general solubility guidelines often in this chapter and in Chapter 10. They will help you identify salts that are soluble and insoluble in aqueous solutions. Always keep in mind, however, that water is a powerful solvent. Even an insoluble salt may dissolve enough to present a serious hazard if it is highly poisonous.

Compounds with water solubilities of less than 0.01 mol P1 are generally considered insoluble. MCAT will not require you to memorize the solubilities of different compounds. Nevertheless, here are a few solubility guidelines for compounds in water ...

Solubility is a complex phenomenon, and it is not possible to give a complete summary of all of our observations. The following brief summary for solutes in aqueous solutions will be very useful. These generalizations are often called the solubility guidelines. Compounds whose solubility in water is less than about 0.02 mol/L are usually classified as insoluble compounds, whereas those that are more soluble are classified as soluble compounds. No gaseous or solid substances are infinitely soluble in water. You may wish to review Tables 2-3 (page 55), 4-5, and 4-6. They list some common ions. Table 4-15 on page 164 contains a more comprehensive list. 

Solubility Guidelines for Common Ionic Compounds in Water Generally Soluble Exceptions... 

Recall the lists of strong acids (Table 4-5) and strong bases (Table 4-7). These acids and bases are completely or almost completely ionized or dissociated in dilute aqueous solutions. Other common acids and bases are either insoluble or only slighdy ionized or dissociated. In addition, the solubility guidelines (page 134 and Table 4-8) allow you to determine which salts are soluble in water. Most salts that are soluble in water are also strong electrolytes. Exceptions such as lead acetate, Pb(CH3COO)2, which is soluble but does not ionize appreciably, will be noted as they are encountered. 

Refer to the solubility guidelines given in Table 4-8. Classify the compounds in Exercises 85 through 88 as soluble, moderately soluble, or insoluble in water. 

So far we have discussed mainly compounds that are quite soluble in water. Although most compounds dissolve in water to some extent, many are so slightly soluble that they are called insoluble compounds. We shall now consider those that are only very slightly soluble. As a rough rule of thumb, compounds that dissolve in water to the extent of 0.020 mole/liter or more are classified as soluble. Refer to the solubility guidelines (Table 4-8) as necessary. 

Solubility In natural systems, microbes produce emulsifiers that render insoluble matter accessible for degradation. All of the systems currently available were developed for water-soluble materials and, although the use of artificial solvents or emulsifiers is permitted in the test guidelines, their use is restricted to 100 ppm in tests related to ecotoxicology and product classification, and neither is permitted in the MITI test. This approach is, in most cases, ineffective with oils since much higher concentrations are needed to achieve solubility, which renders the conditions of the test doubtful. 

Write the chemical formula for the primary solute in each of the following solutions. Explain how the solubility guideline like dissolves like leads to the prediction that these substances would be soluble in water.
