Answer: The positive and negative charges of the water molecule pull on the negative and positive ends of the ionic molecule to break them apart.

Explanation:  

Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents such as water as like dissolves like. Ionic compounds are made up of ions which remain attracted by coloumbic forces.  

Thus to separate the ions, the positive and negative charges of polar solvent pulls the opposite charges of the ionic compounds and thus break them apart. Thus the ionic compounds dissolve in water.

A compound is found to be 38.76% calcium, 19.97% phosphorous and 41.28% oxygen. What is the empirical formula for this compound?
motikmotik

The empirical formula is Ca₃P₂O₈.

<em>Assume</em> that you have 100 g of the compound.

Then you have 38.76 g Ca, 19.97 g P, and 41.28 g O.

Now, we must convert these <em>masses to moles</em> and <em>find their ratio</em>s.

If the number in the ratio are not close to integers, you <em>multiply them by a numbe</em>r that makes them close to integers.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>  <u>Mass/g</u>     <u> Moles  </u>      <u> </u><u>Ratio </u>    <u>   ×2    </u>   <u>Integers</u>  

     Ca       38.76      0.967 07     1.4998   2.9995         3

     P         19.97       0.644 82     1             2                   2

     O        41.28       2.580 0       4.0011   8.0023          8

The empirical formula is Ca₃P₂O₈.
