Q

How does dissolving happen. Use particle theory to explain.

A

When the attraction between the particles of the solvent and solute are strong enough to overcome the attraction of the particles of the solute from one another.

Q

How does temperature affect the rate of dissolving?

A

Temperature affects dissolving because the higher the temperature the quicker the particles move and intermingle, which makes the dissolving process quicker.

Q

What is the difference between dissolving and melting?

A

Dissolving is the complete mixing of particles of a solid in a liquid to form a solution. Melting is the state of when a solid turns to a liquid.

16
Q

What is the difference between a solute, a solvent, and a solution.

A

Solute- The solid that is dissolved.
Solvent- A liquid in which other substances will dissolve.
Solution- A mixture formed when a solid dissolves in a liquid.
(SOLUTE dissolves in the SOLVENT to create a SOLUTION.)
