Would ammonium chloride be considered soluble in water?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Yes, ammonium chloride is considered soluble in water.

Step by step solution

01

Understand Solubility

Solubility refers to the ability of a solute (in this case, ammonium chloride) to dissolve in a solvent (in this case, water). Certain compounds have a higher likelihood to dissolve in water due to their ionic or polar covalent nature.
02

Check Solubility Rules

There are established rules that help predict whether a compound will dissolve in water or not. One of these rules states that all salts containing ammonium ions (\(NH_4^+\)) are soluble in water.
03

Apply Rules to Ammonium Chloride

Ammonium chloride (\(NH_4Cl\)) contains an ammonium ion, hence based on the solubility rules, it would be soluble in water.

Write a paragraph explaining what happens to an ionic salt in the following steps: it is dissolved in water, more of it than its solubility amount is added to the solution, the solution is heated, the solution is cooled to room temperature, and the solution is disturbed by adding more solute.

Name a unit of concentration commonly used to express small concentrations.

Design a solubility experiment that would identify an unknown substance that is either CsCl, RbCl, LiCl, NH \(_{4}\) , KCl, or NaCl. (Hint: You will need a solubility versus temperature graph for each of the salts.) If your instructor approves your design, get a sample from the instructor, and perform your experiment.

Give an example of a nonelectrolyte.

A solution contains 32.7 \(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\) in 455 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of solution. Calculate its molarity.
