Why does the quantity of various substances dissolving in water vary? Give an example.
Answers
Answer:
The dissolution process requires energy as well as energy is released during the process. Depending upon the energy and the strength of the inter-molecular bonds, and other external factors like polarity, temperature, pressure etc, the solubility of different substances varies.
Explanation:
In general, SOLUBILITY is an ability of a substance to dissolve. In the process of dissolving, the substance which is being dissolved is called a solute and the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. A mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.
To put it in simple words:
When we insert sugar into water it will dissolve. In this process:
sugar is the solute
water is the solvent
One of the characteristics of table sugar is its solubility in water
Answer:
Due to the difference in the properties and strength of inter-molecular attraction of various substances, the quantity of various substances dissolving in water varies.
Eg. More sugar is required to make the same amount of water saturated as compared to salt.
