what happens when particle size of solute is equal to the inter particle space of solvent . does the solute dissolve in solution or not . if dissolved which solution will be formed??
Dear Student,
When a substance is being dissolved, the inter particular forces of attraction are weakened which further breaks. The size of the particles only determine the rate of dissolution or the time required to dissolve the solute. If the surface area of the solute is big, it requires more time and energy (temperature or kinetic energy in the form of stirring). Thus the resultant solution formed will be a normal one.
