Ion Concentration

Dissociation

-Ionic compounds are made up of 2 parts:
 →Cation: positively charged particle
 →Anion: negatively charged particle
-When ionic compounds are dissolved in water the cation & anion separate from eachother
-This process is called dissociation
-When writing dissociation equations, the atoms & charges must balance.
The dissociation of Sodium Chloride is:
      NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) = Cl-(aq)
*have to write charges*
