Document Summary

Chem 130: general chemistry: macroscopic investigations and reaction principles - Svante arrhenius" ionic theory of solutions (1884) Certain substances produce freely moving ions when they dissolve in water, and these ions conduct an electric current in an aqueous solution. Nacl (an ionic solid) is dissolved in water. When dissolved, na+ and cl- ions go into solution as freely moving ions. When electrical wires connected to the poles of a batter are dipped into a solution of nacl . The positive pole of the battery attracts negatively charged chloride ions; the negative pole, positively charged sodium ions. The ions in the solution begin to move and the moving charged form the electric current in the solution. Water has the ability to dissolve various substances, some of which go into solution as freely moving ions. An aqueous solution of ions is electrically conducting. Substances that dissolve in water are divided into two classes: electrolyte and nonelectrolyte.
