Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the given compounds, the compounds that are more soluble in acidic solution compared to water have to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Acidic solution: Solution is considered to be acidic if anion (negatively charged species) is derived from strong acid and cation (positively charged species) derived from weak base.
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Dissociation of salt forms strong conjugate base is more soluble in acidic compared to water.
An anion reacts with acid only if it is conjugate base of a weak acid.
Molar solubility is defined as amount of solute that can be dissolved in one litre of solution before it attains saturation.
Solubility of a compound is expressed as concentration of its ions in saturated solution.
The solubility product constant (
