Question

Where does the salt go after getting dissolved in water? What information do you get from the dissolution of salt in water?

Answer 1

• The tiny particles of salt break off from the solid salt crystals when it is dissolved in water.
• Water is a liquid, and there are interparticle spaces between its particles.
• The salt particles mix with the water and go into the spaces between the particles of water and form a salt solution.

The dissolution of salt in the water tells us that:

• The matter is made up of small particles.
• The particles of matter have spaces between them.
