KNO₃ in H₂O gives a more concentrated solution than KNO₃ in CCl₄
1. KNO₃ in H₂0
• KNO₃ contains potassium and nitrate ions and so is an ionic compound held by ionic bond
• Ionic compounds dissolve in water because water being polar in nature, break the ionic bond and interact strongly with positive and negative ions of the ionic compound. Therefore, Kno3 in water is more concentrated.
2. KNO₃ in CCl₄
• CCl₄is an organic, non-polar solvent
• Ionic compounds does not dissolve in CCl₄ because CCl₄ being non polar in nature, cannot decrease the force of attraction between the ions. Therefore, KNO₃ in CCl₄ is less concentrated.
Thus we can conclude that ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents but not in non-polar solvents.
