How is massed conserved when adding a solute to a solvent?

If you weigh the solute, and then weigh the solvent, and then add the solute to the solvent and weigh the solution, you will find that the sum of the weights of the solute and solvent is equal to the weight of the resulting solution. So mass is conserved.


How can the energy of the molecules of a solute and solvent be increased?

The energy of molecules in a solute and solvent can be increased by adding outside energy, say, heat, for instance.


What is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solute at a particular temperature?

This is known as the solubility of the solute in the solvent. When you reach the maximum it is know as the saturation concentration. Adding any more solute will not dissolve in the solvent.


Many laboratory preparations of solutions call for stirring the solvent while adding the solute. What is an effect of this procedure?

It brings the solute and solvent rapidly into contact.

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


If more solvent is added to a solution?

Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.


Why moles solute before dilution equals moles solute after dilution?

This assumes you are using water (or whatever the original solvent is) to do the dilution so you are not adding more solute, only more solvent,
