PS5.1. Describe all the energy changes which must be considered in the solution process. Indicate the types of interactions which are important in the solution process and discuss what conditions favor and do not favor formation of a solution.
PS5.2. Which substance of each of the following pairs is likely to be more soluble in water? Explain each choice and, for the substance of each pair that is less soluble in water, suggest a better solvent. Include Lewis structures for each of the substances. (NOTE: If you have vitamins as an option you do not have to draw the structure of vitamin E.)
a) nitrogen(g) and ammonia(g)
b) methylamine(g) and carbon disulfide(l)
c) vitamin B6(s) or vitamin E(s) NOTE: See page 565 in your textbook.
d) phenol(s) or toluene(l)
PS5.3. Describe the attractive forces present when NaCl(s), NH3(g) and methanol(l) dissolve in water. Use the space below to sketch diagrams depicting at the atomic level how each of the three substances interact with water molecules.
