What 2 solute molecules mixed with the solvent molecules in a solution cause the freezing point of a solution to be than it is for an equal volume of pure?
lower, solvent, lower, solvent
Is salt solution a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A salt solution in water is a conductor, due to the disassociation of the salt molecules into oppositely charged ions in the presence of the polar water molecules. A salt solution in a nonpolar solvent would likely be an insulator, as the salt molecules probably would not dissociate.
Why do solids partly dissolve?
Your question is not clear; some solids have a great solubility, another are practically insoluble. The solubility depends on the nature of solvent, the nature of the solute, polarity of the molecules, pressure, temperature, the presence of other substances in the solution.
What effect does adding a solute to a solvent have on the freezing point of the solvent?
the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.
What is the name of the pressure that must be exerted on a solution to prevent the passage of solvent molecules into a solution when the solution and solvent are separated by a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis.
What is the term for a cluster of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle in solution?
Solvent Cage
What are the properties of a solution?
The presence of solutes in a solution alter the ability of solvent molecules to interact. This affects the ability of the solvent to go through phase changes. These are called colligative properties. The basic colligative properties are boiling point, freezing point, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure.

What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?
In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.
What happen when solutes and solvent are mixed?
when the solute is mixed to the solvent, the solute brakes down and fits into the spaces between the molecules and form a solution
Is chlorine solution compound?
Chlorine solution is a mixture of chlorine molecules (solute) and water (solvent)
What effect will the addition of a solute to the solvent have on the ability of the solvent molecules to escape from the surface of the solution?
by adding solvent, the ability of solvent molecules to escape(i.e its vapour pressure) will decrease.because the solute particles provide hinderance
