Do all substances dissolve?
What are some of the factors that may affect the solubility of a substance?
What substances? Organic, Ionic, Covalent?
What difference in polarity is there? Can extremely polar substances dissolve semi-polar substances?
Is there a point of which a chemical has too big of a molar mass to dissolve, such as wood, etc.
How will we measure?
What variables are there?
Can non polar substances dissolve polar substances with a small molar mass?
Are all substances obtainable?
Collison theory (temperature, concentration, etc.)
Is the solvent polar or non-polar? Does it include excessive heat or a higher concentration that could possibly allow all molecules to be dissolved?
Is water itself soluable?
How will the molecular size of different solids affect their solubility?
How will it be a fair test?
Can we dissolve all substances?
Are the equipment suitable to dissolve all the substances in the world?
Is it purely based on secondary forces?
Can a mixture of both polar and non polar (e.g, soap) be dissolved easily?
Are there any limitations within the school lab?
What will be the solvent? What will be the solute?
Yes, as solubility is a physical property
For a solute to be dissolved, the solvent must have a similar polarity (like dissolves like), which allows the electronegative element in the molecule to attract the element with the slightly positive dipole.
partially dissolvable substances are usually dissolvable by exptremely polar substances, due to their extreme dipoles being very attractive towards each other.
Most chemicals are dissolvable, for example wood, despite being a complex molecule, can be dissolved through extremely hot solvents such as lava. However, wood inhibits an extremely large amount of water, making it have a polar and non-polar structure.
Unfortunately, this 'dissolving' is rather the breaking of chemical bonds between the organic molecules, which then allow the solute to travel within the solvent.
Can the question be answered without the presence of all solutes?
Do we have access to all the solvents?
Yes, but a two-step process may have to be made to dissolve
Does the solvent have to be water?
Are they going to be in solid form or liquid form?
