Question:

What does the solubility of ionic compounds depend upon? What are ionic compounds soluble with?(3)

Author: Sammy Universe



Answer:

Depends on how much the solute is able to form attractive forces with the solvent = ionic compounds are generally soluble with ionic or polar solvents because they can form bonds with it = soluble in water energy is released when the ions are hydrates (ion-dipole attraction) = energy pays back energy needed to break apart the ionic lattice But not soluble in non polar solvents
