Does dissolution with dissociation only happen with salts?

Answer 1

The answer is no.

Consider the gas hydrogen chloride (and the other gaseous hydrogen halides). Bubble this through water and we get hydrochloric acid, in which the #Cl^-# is almost completely dissociated. Ammonia, another gas, undergoes partial hydrolysis when dissolved in water.

No, dissolution with dissociation can happen with other compounds besides salts, such as acids and bases. When dissolved in water, acids and bases can dissociate into ions just like salts do. This process is essential in understanding electrolytic properties and conducting solutions in chemistry.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
