Which of thefollowing would most likely dissolve in water and why?
Cl2CCCl2
C6H6 (benzene)
Ca(HCO3)2
CCl4
C6H5Cl
Which one of the following woudl you expect to be least
soluable?
Ca(ClO4)2
Ca3(PO4)2
CaHPO4
Ca(H2PO4)2
CaCO3
Water is polar in nature. We know polar attracts polar ( like dissolves like).
We have to look at the polar molecules. Since calcium bicarbonate is in ionic nature it is highly polar than any of the other molecule.
So Calcium bicarbonate mostly likely dissolves in water.
b).
We know ksp is the solubility product constant at equilibrium. We use it to explain and answer this part.
Ksp value of CaCO3 is smallest which suggest that calcium and Carbonate ions are not dissociated strongly. So the answer is CaCO3.
