why is the volume of a liquid does not change when a solid
dissolves in a liquid
Answers
Answer:
When the space inside the liquid is fully occupied then the liquid turns into a saturated solution. Due to this further sugar crystals wont get dissolved. So since the solids occupy the spaces inside liquid atoms, the volume of the liquid doesn't increase.
Explanation:
The answer is no if the given solid is soluble.
The reason is that, liquids when seen under microscope have few empty or molecular spaces between them. Due to this they are loosely packed thereby having some spaces in them.
During the process of dissolving any solid such as crystals of sugar, the solid gets attached or occupies the space present in the liquids thereby appearing to be dissolved.
When the space inside the liquid is fully occupied then the liquid turns into a saturated solution. Due to this further sugar crystals wont get dissolved.
So since the solids occupy the spaces inside liquid atoms, the volume of the liquid doesn't increase. If any other liquid is added then definitely the volume will increase along with mass.
Answer:
It is because the solid just keeps floating in the liquid or settles below but does not dissolve in the liquid since the atoms are closely held.
