What happens to a solution when solute is added?

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


What happens to a solute when a solution is made?

When a solution forms, particles of the solute surround and separate the particles of the solute.


What are two conditions that determine the mass of solute that will dissolve in a given mass of solvent?

The temperature: Increasing temperature makes the particles move faster. Heat energy is transferred by the movement of the particles. Because the solvent particles are moving faster, they bump into the solute.Stirring: Moves all the particles around do the solvent particles bump into the solute particles.


What happens when too much of a solute is added to a solvent?

If by "too much of a solute" you mean past the solute's solubility point, then the solute will not dissolve and instead precipitate and sink beneath the solvent. If you create a supersaturated solution, the solute will crystallize in the solvent until the remaining solute creates a saturated solution with the solvent.


How does the size of the particles effect the rate of dissoving?

Actually, it is not the size that matters, but the area of contact. we see that the dissolving of an object happens because there are collisions between the solvent and the solute. When the solute is BIG, for example, a block, the solvent can only collide with the surface of the block, but not the middle of the block. that means it will take a longer time for the solvent to dissolve the solute. When the block is pondered into a powdery state, it is easier for the solvent to dissolve the solute because of the larger area of collisions.

Does the size of the particles of solute affect the solubility of the substance?

The size of the particles of solute do not affect the solubility of a substance, which is determined by its chemical composition, but it does affect how quickly it dissolves. The smaller the particles of the solute, the faster it will dissolve.
