Question

Why is it important to know the properties of both solutes and solvents when preparing a solution that is expected to meet a certain need?
Does this involve a chemical change or a physical change? Explain

Answer 1

To form a solution, molecules of solute and solvent must be more attracted to each other than themselves.

Chemists make a distinction between two different types of changes that they study—physical changes and chemical changes. Physical changes are changes that do not alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance.
