Solution

When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the volume of the liquid does not changes.

Dissolution of solid in liquid:

  • When we add a solid substance to a liquid, the particles solid get into the spaces between the liquid particles.
  • So, since the solids occupy the spaces inside liquid atoms, the volume of the liquid doesn't increase.
  • Example: Sugar dissolves in water completely at different levels.

Hence, When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the volume of the liquid does not changes.
