Question

Choose the statement below that is TRUE?

A) A solution will form between two substances only if the solvent-solvent interactions are weak enough to overcome the solute-solvent interactions.
B) A solution will form between two substances if the solute-solute interactions are strong enough to overcome the solvent-solvent interactions.
C) A solution will form between two substances if the solute-solvent interactions are of comparable strength to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.
D) None of the above are true.
E) 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.

Answer 1

option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution is formed when a solute is dissolved a solvent.

Formation of solution is decided by the interaction between solute and solvent.

When a solute is dissolved, the intermolecular interactions in between solute molecules are broken. And New interactions are formed between solute and solvent.

In order to form solution, the solute-solvent interactions must be stronger than solute-solute and solvent-solvent in interactions.

Therefore, among given the option c is correct.
