User talk:Lanerino/Aqueous solution

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Drglheard in topic glh comments on draft

The sectioning is a great improvement to the article.

Incorporating more sources for each paragraph/sentence would add to the strength of the article.

"Since water is frequently used as the solvent in experiments, many people imply the word solution as being an aqueous solution, unless the solvent is specified." Neutral wording for this sentence may be beneficial.

I like the sectioning of the paper.

Is "characteristics" the best title for that section? The statement about aqueous solution with pH of 7 is very strange. If we are talking characteristics, this is where you could say that a solution where the solute causes the concentration of H+ to increase is an acidic solution and a solution where the solute causes the concentration of H+ to decrease is a basic solution.

I think you can go into more detail on what substances dissolve in water. Polar molecules, ionic compounds with low lattice energies, ionic compounds with hard acids and bases, and compounds that can form hydrogen bonds are typically soluble.

I think electrolytes should come above the section on reactions. The most common metathesis reactions (neutralization, precipitation) require electrolytes and you could introduce ionic equations at the same time as electrolytes.
