Question 19 • Chemistry

Which is true about dissolving a polar substance in water?

Answer
A
The solute particles have no attraction for the solvent molecules.
B
The solvent particles are all nonpolar molecules.
C
The solute particles are very different from the solvent molecules.
D
The solute particles are carried into the solution.

Explanation

Water is polar, so it attracts polar solute particles. These attractions help pull the solute particles apart and carry them throughout the water, forming a solution. Choice A, “The solute particles are carried into the solution,” is true; the other choices incorrectly describe the solvent or deny the attraction that helps dissolving occur.
