What happens when sugar is stirred into water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
What happens to a solute when it dissolves in a solvent?
The process if solute disappearing into solvent is called dissolving. This means that the solute and solvent are of like polarity or the solute was broken up into ions.
When table salt is added to water the ionic compound dissolves. Does this represent a physical change or a chemical change?
Dissolution is considered a physical process.
What is the process in which a substance breaks up into smaller particles as it dissolves?
You question makes no sense. If particles dissolve they go into solution, they do not "break apart and scatter".
Use the sun to make energy rich molecules?
The process in which the sun is used to make energy rich molecules is called Photosynthesis. This process uses carbon dioxide, water and energy collected from the sun, to produce glucose molecules and oxygen gas. This process happens in plants and is the plant's main source of energy.
What is the process called when an ionic compound dissolves by breaking into its ions?
This process is called dissociation.
What process happens to ice when water is added?
it dissolves
What happens when sugar is stirred into water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
Use diffusion What happens when you drop a sugar cube into a mug of hot tea?
The sugar molecules of the sugar cube move from their dropage point, which is in a high concentrated area, to the rest of the tea's lower concentrated area in which their are less sugar molecules. This process creates equalibrium's and is called diffusion - the process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an are of lower concentration. (M.D.)
What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the body of plants?
The process of photosynthesis breaks up CO2 molecules.
What happens to a solute when it dissolves in a solvent?
The process if solute disappearing into solvent is called dissolving. This means that the solute and solvent are of like polarity or the solute was broken up into ions.
When table salt is added to water the ionic compound dissolves. Does this represent a physical change or a chemical change?
Dissolution is considered a physical process.
The process by which an ionic solute dissolves in a polar solvent?
a process that occurs when an ionic solute dissolves
What do you call it when 2 or more atoms join together to form a compound?
The process by which atoms combine is called bonding. Once they are bonded they are called molecules.
What is the process in which a substance breaks up into smaller particles as it dissolves?
You question makes no sense. If particles dissolve they go into solution, they do not "break apart and scatter".
What happens in the process called addition polymerisation?
a chemical reaction in which simple molecules are added to each other to form long chain molecules without by products
What does dissolving a solute and filtering a solution do?
Dissolving is a familiar process. Salt, for example, dissolves readily in water, as does sugar in coffee. On a molecular level, dissolving consists of the molecules of a solute -- salt or sugar -- encountering and pairing up with the molecules of a solvent -- water or coffee. Only when a successful pairing is made can the solute dissolve into the solvent. To increase the rate at which a solute dissolves, you must increase the rate at which molecules within the solute can encounter and subsequently pair with molecules within the solvent.
