Answer:
Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules. This break up is caused by coming into contact with the solvent. In the case of salt water, the water molecules break off salt molecules from the larger crystal lattice.
Explanation:
They differ in their molecular structures and properties.
A. Adding a catalyst. A catalyst by definition is a compound that speeds up reaction rates.
Answer:
A. Because they are compounds, they cannot be pure substances.

- All parts are the same throughout
- Composition is definite
- They cannot easily be separated or broken
- Separation by physical method is not easy
- They have unique sets of physical and chemical properties.
