Question

Choose the statement below that is TRUE. A solution will form between two substances if solute-solvent interactions are of comparable strength to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions. A solution will form between two substances if the solute-solvent interactions are small enough to be overcome by the solute-solute and solvent- solvent interactions. A solution will form between two substances if the solute-solute interactions are strong enough to overcome the solvent-solvent interactions. A solution will form between two substances only if the solvent-solvent interactions are weak enough to overcome the solute-solvent interactions. None of these are true.

Explanation / Answer

A solution will form between two substance if the solute - solvent interactions are of a comparable strength to solvent- solvent interactions and solute - solute interactions.

Solvent-solute interactions determine the formation of solution.

If this is greater than or equal to solute-solute interactions or solvent solvent interactions a solution is formed
