Chapter 14.3, Problem 41SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Solvation affect by the intermolecular forces needs to be described.

Concept introduction:

Solution can be defined as a homogenous mixture that consist of two components solute and solvent.

Solvent: Solvent can be defined as a component that dissolves another component.

Solute: Solute can be defined as a component that is dissolved in the other component, solvent.

The process of surrounding solute with solvent particles to form solution is known as solvation.

During solution formation, solute and solvent particles collide with each other, so that the solute gets dissolves in solvent.

Solubility -The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure is known as solubility.

Answer to Problem 41SSC

The forces of attraction that is attractive forces between solute and solvent particles overcome the force which holds solute particles together and pulls the solute particles apart and increases solubility of the solute in solvent.

Solvation:

The process of surrounding solute with solvent particles to form solution is known as solvation.

The attractive force affects the rate of solvation and solubility of solute.

Attractive force:

Attractive force exists between solute and solvent particles, when these attractive forces that is holding the solute particles together are less than attractive force between solute and solvent particles, then there will be greater rate of solvation. Then solute particles moved away from solid solute and forms the solution.

Explanation of Solution

Solvation:

The process of surrounding solute with solvent particles to form solution is known as solvation.

The attractive force affects the rate of solvation and solubility of solute.
