What types of bonds or intermolecular forces need to be disrupted between solute molecules? What types of bonds or intermolecular forces need to be disrupted between solvent molecules? What types of bonds or intermolecular forces form between the solute and solvent?
These are for a solution to form
Well, I know that common intermolecular forces are Hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole bonds and London Forces. Maybe we can work from there?
Well in the lab I did the salt was the solute and the water was the solvent
@IsTim
That would make sense.
how would i know which bonds out of those?
for my lab, I did Cacl2, NH4NO3, MgCO3and Na2CO3 in 4 seperate cups of water
I guess it'd be best if you look these up, as my explanation may not be correct. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest. Dipole-dipole occurs with non-polar bonds. London forces are the weakest (unless they are actually dipole-dipole). What do you think Callisto?
There's this paragraph in my manual that might help, but I dont understand it. shoudl i type it in here?
during a dissolution process, energy is required to overcome the attractive forces between the solute molecules, and to overcome the attractive forces between the solvent molecules. These attractive forces are called bonds if they are forces that hold atoms or ions together within a molecule, and intermolecular forces if they are forces of attraction between molecules, or between molecules and atoms or ions.
Anything on the specific type of forces?
nope
so would the solvent be h bonding and dispersion
and the solute would be all the forces except h bonding?
but im not sure about the solute and solvent
You probably know more than me at the moment. I'm just helping to guide.
im guessing but alright thank you
i probably figured it out then
Good luck then.
