a solid dissolves into a liquid because of the free inter molecular spaces in between the molecules of the liquid or the solvent......... for example if we dissolve sugar in water and stirr the water , the sugar dissapears . this happens because the molecules of water are not yery closely placed and the sugarparticles go and fit inside the molecular spaces.......

How do the methods of speeding the rate of solution for dissolving a solid in a liquid compare to the methods of speeding the rate of solution when dissolving a gas in a liquid?

Heat (in most cases) has an opposite effect on the solubility of solids as compared to gases. Almost all solids will dissolve faster in a liquid at higher temperatures, whereas gases will dissolve in a liquid faster at lower temperatures (as long as the temperature is not so low that the liquid in question freezes).


When solid is dissolved in a liquid?

When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.


What is solvent and dissolve?

A solvent is a chemical which has the capacity to dissolve a solute. Water is the most commonly used solvent, and it dissolves a lot of things, such as sugar and salt. To dissolve, is for a solid material to become part of a liquid solvent and to thereby lose its solidity, and to mix in.

What is the term for when a solid does not dissolve into a liquid?

When a solid does not dissolve into a liquid, it is referred to as insoluble. This means that the solid remains in its original form and does not mix evenly with the liquid.

What does a solid and liquid make?

it depends on the solubility of the solid in that specific liquid. If the solid is highly soluble, then it should dissolve completely forming a solution, possibly coloured. If it is not, then it will just sit in the liquid.


Do all solids dissolve in different liquids?

No, not all solids dissolve in all liquids. The ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid depends on various factors such as the nature of the solid and the liquid, as well as their molecular structures. Some solids may dissolve in one liquid but not in another.


What happens when you try to dissolve a lot of solid in a little liquid?

If you try to dissolve a lot of solid in a small amount of liquid, you may reach a point where the liquid becomes saturated and can no longer dissolve any more of the solid. The excess solid will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container.

What happens if you put a solid in a liqud?

When a solid is placed in a liquid, it can dissolve, remain unaffected, or react with the liquid depending on the properties of the solid and liquid. If the solid is soluble in the liquid, it will dissolve and form a homogeneous solution. If the solid is insoluble, it will remain as a separate phase within the liquid. If the solid reacts with the liquid, a chemical reaction may occur leading to the formation of new substances.
