Is energy released or absorbed during the formation of a solution?

1 answer:

3 0

Energy can be released and absorbed during the formation of a solution, not one or the other. When a solute interacts with the solvent, energy is absorbed so the solvent can overcome the intermolecular bonds of the solute and energy is released, most commonly, in the form of heat, light, or a gaseous byproduct.

Answer:

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, $F\propto m_1, m_2$ . This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, $F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}$ . This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.
