Question:

The terms dissolution, crystallization, dynamic equilibrium and saturated solution are defined respectively, as

(A) no more solute can be dissolved in the solution at a given temperature and pressure
(B) some solute dissolves and its concentration increases in solution.
(C) some solute particles in solution collide with the solid solute particles and get separated out of solution.
(D) number of solute particles going into solution will be equal to the solute particles separating out of the solution

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (C), (B), (D)

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(B), (A), (D), (C)

(B), (C), (D), (A)

Correct Answer:

(B), (C), (D), (A)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C), (D), (A)

Dissolution $\rightarrow$ (B): This is the initial process where a solute is added to a solvent. Some solute particles leave the solid phase and enter the liquid phase, causing the concentration of the solute in the solution to increase.

Crystallization $\rightarrow$ (C): As the concentration of dissolved solute increases, some solute particles in the solution collide with the surface of the remaining solid solute and stick to it, effectively "separating out" of the solution.

Dynamic Equilibrium $\rightarrow$ (D): This is the state reached when the two opposing processes (dissolution and crystallization) occur at the same rate. The number of particles entering the solution is exactly equal to the number of particles leaving it, so the concentration remains constant.

Saturated Solution $\rightarrow$ (A): Once dynamic equilibrium is established, the solution contains the maximum possible amount of solute for those specific conditions. No more solute can be dissolved at that given temperature and pressure.
