which is true about dissolving a polar substance in water? the solvent particles are all nonpolar molecules. the solute particles are carried into the solution. the solute particles have no attraction for the solvent molecules. the solute particles are very different from the solvent molecules.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
When a polar substance dissolves in water (a polar solvent), the water - polar solute interactions cause the solute particles to be carried into the solution. Water is a polar molecule, so the first option is incorrect. Solute and solvent particles do have attractions (like dipole - dipole interactions for polar solutes in water), so the third option is wrong. "Like dissolves like", so polar solutes are similar in nature to polar water molecules, making the fourth option incorrect.
Answer:
The solute particles are carried into the solution.
