What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent
What will the nonvolatile solute do to the freezing point of a solvent?
This is the property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. This is because of the solute absorbing the energy added to the system to heat its own molecules and so it would require more energy to boil the solvent. Likewise for freezing point depression, the molecules retain more energy.
What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?
The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.
What needs to happen for a solute to dissolve in a particular solvent?
The attractions between the solute and solvent molecules must be greater than the attractions keeping the solute together and the attractions keeping the solvent together.
How many molecules per litre of solvent?
solute
What affects the kinetic energy of solute and solvent molecules?
stirring and temperature change
How does increasing the amount of solvent speed up the dissolving process?
By breaking up the solute, the surface area between the solute and solvent is increased, meaning the solute can more easily dissolve into it's components.
How does the boiling point of a solvent change when a solute is dissolved in it how does the freezing point change?
The boiling point rises and the freezing point lowers.The reason being, when a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute molecules wedge themselves between the solvent molecules. In order for the solvent to freeze, its molecules have to get close enough together to form a solid. However, the solute molecules are in the way. As a result, it requires much colder temperatures for the solvent molecules to form a solid, despite the hindrance of the solute's molecules. The same sort of thing happens when trying to boil the solvent, only instead of holding the solvent molecules apart, the solute molecules end up holding them together, preventing them from boiling. Therefore, a more energy is needed to break the bond between solvent and solute, which allows the solvent to boil.
Why does stirring increase the rate of dissolution?
Thr number of collisions between solute and solvent molecules is increased.
Which is the first step in the dissolving process The solute becomes like the solvent. The solute molecules are carried into the solution. The solvent molecules surround the solute particles. The solv?
The first step in the dissolving process is "The solvent molecules surround the solute particles".
When a solute is dissolved in a solvent what happens?
when solute is dissolved in a solvent...the molecules of the solute starts diffusing between the particles of the solute.
What happens to a solute when it dissolves in a solvent?
The process if solute disappearing into solvent is called dissolving. This means that the solute and solvent are of like polarity or the solute was broken up into ions.
What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent

What is a solvation?
process of solvent molecules surrounding and interacting with solute ions and molecules
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
