The document covers the dissolution process of ionic compounds and solubility of covalent compounds in water. It explains key concepts related to chemical bonding, solubility, and factors affecting dissolution.
• Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
• Covalent compounds generally dissolve as molecules
• Solubility is affected by temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent
• Calculations are provided for determining maximum solubility and preparing solutions
