This depends on the liquid and the solid.

For example, Salt and Water.

Salt, because it is an ionic compound of Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl), it dissociates into 2 separate ions. this is how the salt dissolves into water. NaCl splits into Na+ and Cl-

This is different for, say, a double replacement reaction.

What happens to the molecules of a solid such as a sugar cube when it dissolves water?

When a solid such as a sugar cube dissolves in water, the molecules of the sugar cube spread out and become surrounded by water molecules. The water molecules interact with the sugar molecules and weaken their bonds, causing the sugar molecules to separate and disperse throughout the water, resulting in a homogeneous mixture.


Do polar and nonpolar molecules interact?

In general, polar molecules interact more strongly with other polar molecules (due to dipole-dipole interactions) and nonpolar molecules interact more with other nonpolar molecules (via London dispersion forces). However, there can be exceptions depending on the specific molecules involved and the conditions of the interaction.


What can change the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

temperature. The higher the temperature of the liquid, the more of the solid you can dissolve in it.


In which solvent do you expect a solid that ionizes well to dissolve in?

A solid that ionizes well is more likely to dissolve in a polar solvent, such as water, where the ions can interact with the solvent molecules through electrostatic interactions. This facilitates the separation of ions in the solid and their dispersal in the solution.


What molecules interact well with water molecules?

Polar molecules such as glucose, salts, and amino acids interact well with water molecules due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds. Additionally, some nonpolar molecules with small sizes, like ethanol and acetone, can also interact with water through weak van der Waals forces.

What 3 things will help a solid to dissolve in water?

Breaking down the solid into smaller particles to increase surface area and enhance contact with water molecules. Agitating the mixture to facilitate the movement of water molecules around the solid particles. Adding heat to increase the kinetic energy of water molecules, allowing them to interact more effectively with the solid and break down its structure.


Which molecules are able to interact with water?

Molecules that are polar or have hydrogen bonding capability can interact with water. Examples include sugars, amino acids, and alcohols. Nonpolar molecules, such as oils and fats, do not interact well with water.

Wax does not dissolve in water since it is wax and?

Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water molecules and does not mix with water. This is because wax molecules are non-polar, while water molecules are polar. The polar nature of water molecules makes it difficult for them to interact with non-polar molecules like wax.


Are sugars non polar Molecules?

No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.


What are molecules that are joined in an ordered structure?

When molecules are linked in organized positions has solid results. When heat is absorbed by a solid the molecules vibrate faster and faster.

What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?

The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
