Q
What is dissolution?
A
Process by which a solid or liquid breaks up to form a homogenous mixture (solution)
2
Q
The 3 forces present during dissolution are
A
1) Solute-solute
2) Solvent-solvent
3) Solute-solvent attractive forces
3
Q
In terms of forces present during dissolution, solutes will dissolve when:
A
if solute-solvent > solute-solute & solvent-solvent
4
Q
What is dissociation?
A
A physical process involving the separation of existing ions.
+ An ionic lattice will separate in sol if the ion-dipole attraction > ion-ion attr.
