Why Some Solutions Form Spontaneously

Solution formation can happen spontaneously under the right conditions. A spontaneous process is one that occurs without energy from an outside source. During dissolution, solute and solvent particles separate and then attract each other in a new way.

The energy change depends on the balance of i...

Lorsqu’un soluté et un solvant se mélangent pour former une solution, il existe trois forces principales entre leurs molécules constitutives, ou forces intermoléculaires, à savoir, les attractions entre les molécules de soluté, les attractions entre les molécules de solvant et les attractions entre les molécules de solvant

Pour qu’un sol...
