Purpose To measure the solubility of the given substances (Ammonium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Chloride, Copper Carbonate, Iodine, Sugar, Wax, Sand, Oil, Starch) at various temperatures in water. Background Information Why water is an important solvent? Water is capable of dissolving a wide variety of different substances, which is why it is referred to as the universal solvent. Water is an excellent solvent because of its chemical composition and physical qualities. Polar arrangements of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present in water molecules. Having positive electrical charges (hyd...

Organic Chemistry Nomenclature Organic chemistry involves the chemistry of compounds containing carbon. Because of carbon's ability to bond to itself in a variety of ways, there are over 6 million different organic compounds. The properties of organic compounds differ from those of inorganic compounds most notably in their relatively low melting point (usually under 300ºC), low boiling points, solubility in other organic solvents ... - Indicate where the double bond occurs by numbering the carbon chain starting with end closest to the double bond. Then use the prefix stem to indicate the num...
