If the mass of solute doubles to 200mL of water, what happens to the amount of solute that will dissolve? *

A) The mass will stay the same.

B) The mass will be one-half.

C) The mass will double.

C) The mass will double.

Explanation:

The amount of solute that will dissolve will also double since the solvent volume has doubled.

There is a fine liner relationship between amount of solute and solvent that can form a solution.

A solute is the substance that is dissolved in another. A solvent is the medium by which a solute is dissolved. A combination of solute and solvent forms a mixture called solution.

To form a solution, solvation must take place. During solvation, the molecules of the solvent surrounds the solute completely and bring them into the phase of dissolution.

Generally, the more the solvent, the more the solute it is able to dissolve.

A table spoon of sugar for example will dissolve readily in a jar of water without settling. In a bucket, it is even much more easier.
