Among the solvents given in Problem 2.55, the one in which
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents. The polar solvent is of two types: protic and aprotic. The protic solvent is the compound containing at least one hydrogen atom bonded to the electronegative atom – oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine – and capable of forming a hydrogen bond. The aprotic solvent is the compound which cannot form a hydrogen bond due to lack of a hydrogen atom bonded to the electronegative atom – oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. The protic solvent can solvate both cations and anions but an aprotic solvent can solvate only cations but not anions.

Illegal cocaine arrives in the USA either as a pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt(C7H21O4NHCl). At 25 degrees celsius, the salt is very soluble in water(2.59kg/L), but pure cocaine is much less so(1.70g/L) a. What is the maximum amount of salt in grams that can dissolve in 50.0mL of water? b. When a 25mL aqueous solution that contains 62.50 g of the salt is treated with NaOH, the salt is converted to pure cocaine. How much water in liters is needed additionally to dissolve the formed pure cocaine,arrow_forward
