Question

What is solvation? explain in detail.

Answer 1

Solvation describes the interaction of solventwith molecules or ions in a solute. Ions, and in some cases, molecules, interact strongly with solvent, and the strength and nature of this interaction influences many properties of the solute, including solubility, reactivity, and color. In the process of solvation, ions are surrounded by concentric shells of solvent. Solvation is the process of reorganizing solvent and solute molecules into solvation complexes. Solvation involves bond formation, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces. Solvation of a solute by water is called hydration.[1]

Solubility of compounds represents a competition between lattice energy and solvation as well as entropy effects related to changes in the solvent structure
