An ionic bond forms between atoms of

Ionic bonds form between nonmetals and metals.

The reason ionic bonds are formed is because nonmetals and metals usually have high electronegativities, which essentially means that metals pull on nonmetals' electrons.
When a metal takes an electron from a nonmetal, the metal becomes negatively charged and the nonmetal becomes positively charged. Because opposite charges attract, the two atoms will stick together, thus forming an ionic bond

[Given] 25.0 g Au

[Solve] moles Au

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 25.0 \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units: $\displaystyle 0.126923 \ mol \ Au$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.126923 mol Au ≈ 0.127 mol Au

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?

gregori [183]

Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.
