Question 5 • *STPSB_Environmental Science 2627

Which is true about the dissolving process in water?

Answer
A
Nonpolar solutes dissolve easily in water.
B
Solute molecules surround water molecules.
C
Molecules or ions of a solute spread throughout the water molecules.
D
Water molecules are repelled by solute ions at the surface of the solute.

Explanation

When a solute dissolves, its molecules or ions separate and spread throughout the water, forming a solution. Water molecules often surround the solute particles and help keep them dispersed. Nonpolar solutes generally do not dissolve easily in water, so choice A is not true.
