Question

What happens when the solute is added to pure water?

Answer 1

Solution:

1. A homogeneous mixture of two or more components in any one phase (solid, liquid, or gas) is referred to as a solution.
2. A solution is made up of solute and solvent, which are invisible to the unaided eye.
3. The solute is the component that is dissolved in the solvent.
4. The solvent is the component in which the solute is dissolved.
5. The vapor pressure of pure water decreases as the solute is introduced into the pure water.
6. The pressure that vapors apply when they are in equilibrium with the liquid phase at a specific temperature is known as vapor pressure.
7. There is less space for solvent molecules now that some of the surfaces are occupied by solute particles due to which, less solvent can evaporate.
