LAB REPORT 6 – IONIC REACTIONS
No credit will be given for this lab report if the Data section is not completely filled out.
OBJECTIVES

QUESTIONS (10 points)
1. Compare your results with the solubility rules. Do your results generally agree with them?
Yes, I feel like my results were comparable to the rules on the table in the chemistry text.
2. Why is water a good solvent for ionic substances?
Water is a great solvent because it has an uneven distribution of its charge on its surface. The oxygen atom holds the shared electrons more closely than the two hydrogen atoms. The partially negative dipoles of the water are attracted to positively charged components of the solute, and vice versa
