Chapter 14.3, Problem 39SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The factors that affect the formation of solution needs to be described.

Concept introduction:

Solution is formed when solute and solvent particles comes in the contact of each other.

During solution formation, solute and solvent particles collide with each other, To increase the collision between solute and solvent particles, different ways are there. That will increase the rate at which solute dissolves in solvent. That can be done by agitation, increasing the surface area and increasing the temperature.

Answer to Problem 39SSC

The factors that affect the formation of solution are surface area, temperature, and agitation.

During solution formation, solute and solvent particles collide with each other, To increase the collision between solute and solvent particles, different ways are there. That will increase the rate at which solute dissolves in solvent. That can be done by agitation, increasing the surface area and increasing the temperature.

Agitation:

Agitation means-stirring or shaking of the solution, the stirring moves dissolved solute away from the surfaces quickly so that there are more collision between solute and solvent particles and solvent remains continually in contact with the solute. Without stirring, solute particles will move slowly and there is less collision between solute and solvent

Surface area:

Size of the solute plays a important role in the rate at which a solute dissolves in solvent. Small particles of solute dissolves faster than the large particles. Because small particles will have the more surface area and there is more collision between solute and solvent particles, that increases the rate of solution formation.

Temperature:

Higher the temperature, higher is the rate of solution formation, sugar dissolves more quickly in hot water than cold because higher temperature, increases the collisions between solute and solvent particles.
