Describe the relationship of attraction forces between molecules and the ability of a slovent to dissolve a substance?

Attraction forces between molecules, such as hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions, are important in determining the solubility of a substance in a solvent. If the attraction forces between the molecules of the solute and solvent are similar in strength, the solute is likely to dissolve in the solvent. These interactions facilitate the mixing of the solute and solvent molecules, allowing the solute to be dispersed and appear to "dissolve" within the solvent.


What is a mixture of a solute and a solvent?

A mixture of a solute and a slovent will create a solution. If we combine salt and water, the salt (the solute) will dissolve in the water (the solvent) to form that solution. Note that a mixture is different from a solution in that in a mixture, the two substance remain distinct, like with sand and water.


Give example of solvent?

A slovent dissolves a solute, a good example would be sugar (the solute) and water (the solvent) mixing together. A example of a solvent would be water, an example of a solute would be salt or sugar.


Differences between diffusion and active transport?

Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Active transport is selective, meaning it can move specific molecules, whereas diffusion is non-selective.


Example of solvent?

Water, AKA the universal solvent.universal solvent is water a solute is like kool aidwater, oxygen, acids, turpentine.WaterWater is the most commonly cited example of a solvent. Other common examples are hexane, ethanol, and ether.A slovent dissolves a solute, a good example would be sugar (the solute) and water (the solvent) mixing together. A example of a solvent would be water, an example of a solute would be salt or sugar.Some solids are soluble in water , some are not . Some solids are soluble in gasoline, others are not. Not all solids are soluble in a liquid. Liquids can dissolve a solid. There are some kinds of solids that can dissolve in a particular kind of liquids. Water is however called the UNIVERSAL SOLVENT because it almost dissolve all subtances in a certain degree.Examples of Solvents : Water , Gasoline , Vinegar , Alcohol , Kerosene


Two basic parts of a solution?

The solute and the solvent...you can tell them apart because thesolute is: in a solution a substance that is dissolved in a solvent andthe solvent is, in a solution the substance that dissolves a solute and makes up the largest percentage of a solution.
