Which condition is necessary for solid to dissolve?

the molecules of liquids have large intermolecular spaces between them.when a solid(especially salts) is poured in liquid,the molecules of the solid occupy these intermolecular space of the liquid. This is the reason why a solid dissolves in a liquid


What happens when a solute dissolves in a liquid?

The particles of that solute go into the empty spaces around the water particles.


How does a particle theory explain how a solute dissolves into a solvent?

You can use the particle theory to help explain what happens when solutes dissolve. The particle theory states that there are spaces between all particles. This means that, in a sample of water, there are many water particles, but also many empty spaces. When you look at sugar. The sugar dissolves, the sugar particles separate and mix with the water particles.


How does something dissolve faster?

When substances is are put into solution the molecules of both the solvent and the solute are interspersed. Heating the solvent will cause it's molecules to move faster and thus allow the molecules of the solute to better access the spaces between them. Stirring and shaking also speeds up dissolving.


What mixture is formed when one kind of molecule fills the spaces between other kinds of molecules is called a?

The mixture formed in this scenario is called a solution. Solutions consist of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance in which the solute is dissolved). The solute molecules are distributed evenly throughout the solvent.


Why is iron considered the solvent and carbon is the solute?

Iron is considered the solvent because it is the major component of steel, while carbon is the solute because it is dissolved within the crystalline structure of the iron matrix to create steel. The carbon atoms occupy the interstitial spaces between the iron atoms, enhancing the strength and hardness of the steel.


What happen when solutes and solvent are mixed?

When solutes (substances dissolved in a solution) are mixed with a solvent (the substance in which the solutes dissolve), the solutes disperse evenly throughout the solvent due to Brownian motion and intermolecular interactions. This results in the formation of a homogenous mixture called a solution. The solutes remain dispersed in the solvent unless a physical or chemical change occurs.


What are the spaces in between particles called?

cementation


What attractions do the solid particles have between each other?

evidence that particles have spaces between each other


What particle takes up space?

Particles dont take up space it is heat that gives particles energy to move and expand solids have smaller spaces between them liquids have larger spaces between them gases have the largest spaces between them


What are the spaces between particles of Solid Liquid and Gas?

The spaces between particles in a solid are very close together, forming a closely packed arrangement. In a liquid, the particles are closer together than in a gas but still have some space between them. In a gas, the particles are much farther apart and have large spaces between them.


How does things dissolve?

the atoms of the solute(substance getting dissolved) enter the inter-spaces between the atoms or molecules of the solvent .this is how things dissolve, small molecule take space in between the larger molecules and they intermix together. remember dissolving is a physical change not chemical.
