In a dissolving process, energy is required to overcome the forces of attraction between the solvent particles. The first step is for the solvent particles to move in order for solute particles to enter the system. This process is endothermic where energy flows into the system. The second step is when solute particles must separate from other solute particles. Lastly, the solute should move between solvent particles.
