The cage effect describes how molecules are affected by their surroundings.
For example, reactants in a liquid can be trapped in a "cage" of solvent molecules. In this cage, many collisions occur before squeezing out into a new cage. If there are other reactants in this cage, a reaction is likely to occur, but if there isn't, these reactants won't react until they squeeze out again.

How does the volume of the water effect how it dissolves?
More solvent can dissolve more solute.
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 are the differences between salting-in and salting-out effects?
Salting in is when you increase solubility of something in (for example) water by adding some salt to the water. Salting out is when you decrease solubility by adding salt -- sometimes just by adding more salt. Salting out might cause the precipitation of dissolved proteins for example.
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 are the examples of effect of solvent polarity?
Polarity is the reason why a solvent can dissolve a solute. An example is oven cleaner removing grease from a oven when water cannot. Also water is know as the universal solvent because of its abundance and the fact that a lot of things we want to dissolve are polar molecules.
What is the term for a cluster of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle in solution?
Solvent Cage
What is effect of solvent in uv spectroscopy?
effect of solvent on UV-Visible spectrum
What effect does solute have on the boiling point of a solvent?
The solute increases the boiling point of the solvent
What are cage?
Also known as the cage effect, it describes how properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings.
What are cage dynamics?
Also known as the cage effect, it describes how properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings.
What is the optimum ratio of solute to solvent that will produce maximum cooling effect?
The ratio depends on the solvent and solute. Each solvent-solute combination has its own eutectic point.
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
How does heat effect on solutions?
it makes the solvent dissolve even more.
How does the volume of the water effect how it dissolves?
More solvent can dissolve more solute.
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 is 'Quenching?
Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering. This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.
Why you need to heat the solution in order to prepare supersaturated solution?
Effect of heat would be the solvent will be dissolved fast and the temperature changes contribute to the change of the effect of the supersaturated solution.
