Solubility and Intermolecular Forces

The video tutorial by Mr. Donnie covers factors affecting solubility through practice problems. It explains why NaCl is not soluble in benzene due to ionic and non-polar interactions, and identifies substances soluble in CCl4 and water based on polarity and hydrogen bonding. The effect of pressure on gas solubility is discussed, along with calculating Henry's Law constant for CO2. The tutorial also covers determining saturation levels of solutions and analyzing potassium chlorate solubility using a solubility chart.

Why does NaCl have low solubility in benzene?

• Both NaCl and benzene are ionic.

How is Henry's law constant calculated?

• By multiplying the concentration of the gas by the partial pressure

• By dividing the partial pressure by the concentration of the gas
