Question

Which is the second step in the dissolving process?

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, The solvent molecules surround the solute particles.

Explanation :

Dissolving process : It is defined as the process in which solute particles interact with solvent molecules.

When solute particles comes in contact with the solvent particles, firstly the solute particles break down into ions and this result in the Lattice energy of the solute particles.

When solute particles break down, it gets surrounded with the solvent particles and it results in the Hydration enthalpy of the particles.

Hence, the second step of dissolving process is when solvent molecules surround the solute molecules.
