Question

1. When sugar dissolves in water:

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed

intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed    ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed

ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed

intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

2. When salt dissolves in water:

intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed

ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed    intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed

ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

ionic bonds in the solute are broken and new ion-dipole forces in the solution are formed

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new intermolecular forces in the solution are formed

intermolecular forces in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

ion-dipole forces in the solute are broken and new ionic bonds in the solution are formed

Explanation / Answer

1. The reason why sugar dissolves in water is that sugar forms hydrogen bonds with water.

2. The reason why salt dissolves in water is that salt dissociates to give corresponding ions (cation and anion) in water. Each ion will be surrounded by a cage of water molecules which helps to stabilise the ions.
