Question

Describe in your own words, what happens to the particles when salt dissolve in water.

Answer 1

When salt is added to water and stirred, the tiny salt particles break off from each solid salt granule and fill up the spaces available between the particles of water and mix with them.

1. When salt dissolves in water,we see that the solution in the beaker is at the same level where the water level was initially in the beaker.

2. This indicate that particles of matter have space between them.

3. It also indicates that the particles in water can diffuse with the particles of salt.
