How do you dissolve more solute in a solvent?

Answer 1

If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.

Answer 2

There are three cases:

Adding to a unsaturated solution:

The solute will just dissolve, given that you have not added an amount that would put it past its solubility point.

Adding to a saturated solution:

The solute will not dissolve and precipitate to the bottom of container.

Adding to a supersaturated solution:

The solute will initiate crystallization in the extra solute in the super saturated solution, more crystals will precipitate than what you added. This crystallization occurs until the solution returns to a saturated solution.

mDLC:Adding solute to a solvent increases the solvent's boiling point and decreases the solvent's freezing point

Answer 3

If more solvent is added, it becomes a unsaturated solution . Unsaturated solution is a solution in which more solute can be added. Unsaturated solution can also be obtained by heating a saturated solution.

Answer 4

Adding more solvent will cause any solute to become diluted and less concentrated.

Answer 5

The vapour pressure is reduced - that is why salt solutions of water boil at higher temperatures.

Answer 6

The solution would become diluted.
