Solubility and the Born-Haber Cycle

Professor Dave explains solubility, focusing on solutions, miscibility, and saturation. He discusses how solubility is affected by temperature and the concept of supersaturation. The video also covers the solubility of ionic solids, comparing hydration and lattice energies, and introduces the Born-Haber cycle for calculating lattice energy.

What is the definition of a saturated solution?

Explain the concept of dynamic equilibrium in a saturated solution.

What factors determine whether an ionic solid will dissolve in a solvent?

Describe the Born-Haber cycle and its significance in calculating lattice energy.

What is the relationship between hydration energy and lattice energy in determining solubility?
