Question:

Statement I: Stirring a solution leads to high solubility.

Statement II: Due to stirring solvent molecules surrounding solute increases.

Options:

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

Statement I is correct but Statement II is false

Statement I is false but Statement II is correct

Correct Answer:

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

Explanation:

The correct answer is (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

  • Statement I is correct because stirring a solution increases the rate of dissolution. This is because stirring exposes more of the solute surface to the solvent, which allows more solvent molecules to interact with the solute molecules.
  • Statement II is also correct because stirring causes the solvent molecules to move around more quickly. This increases the number of solvent molecules that are available to surround the solute molecules, which also helps to increase the rate of dissolution.

Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I because it explains why stirring a solution leads to high solubility. By increasing the number of solvent molecules that are surrounding the solute molecules, stirring makes it more likely that the solute molecules will dissolve.

Here are some additional explanations:

  • The rate of dissolution is the speed at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. The rate of dissolution can be increased by stirring the solution, increasing the temperature of the solution, or grinding the solute into smaller particles.
  • When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the solute molecules are surrounded by solvent molecules. The solvent molecules interact with the solute molecules through intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces between the solute molecules and the solvent molecules, the more soluble the solute is.
  • Stirring a solution increases the rate of dissolution by exposing more of the solute surface to the solvent. This allows more solvent molecules to interact with the solute molecules, which increases the likelihood that the solute molecules will dissolve.
