Do you break up a partially soluble compound into ions in a net ionic equation? or do you just leave it as a molecule?
Partially soluble compounds are substances that can dissolve in certain solvents, but only to a limited extent. This means that some of the compound will dissolve, but there will still be some remaining undissolved particles in the solution.
Partially soluble compounds differ from insoluble compounds in that they are able to dissolve to some extent, whereas insoluble compounds do not dissolve at all. Insoluble compounds will remain as solid particles in the solvent, while partially soluble compounds will have some dissolved particles in the solution.
The solubility of partially soluble compounds can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solvent and the compound itself. For example, increasing the temperature can increase the solubility of some compounds, while decreasing the temperature can decrease their solubility.
The solubility of a partially soluble compound can be determined through experiments where the compound is added to various solvents and the amount of compound that dissolves is measured. This can also be done by consulting solubility tables or using mathematical models to predict solubility based on the compound's properties.
Some common examples of partially soluble compounds include calcium carbonate (which is partially soluble in water), benzoic acid (which is partially soluble in ethanol), and copper(II) sulfate (which is partially soluble in water). These compounds have varying degrees of solubility in different solvents.
