What is a dissolution with reaction?

Question

Avery Adams · Accepted Answer

Dissolution is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent

Reactions of Dissolution: A nonelectrolyte transitions from its initial state—the solid, liquid, or gas phase—to aqueous solution when it dissolves into a solute. For instance, alcohol #C_2H_5OH_(l) -> C_2H_5OH_(aq)# A strong electrolyte—solid, liquid, or gas—enters solution and becomes ionized during this process. For instance, sodium chloride #NaCl_((s)) -> Na_((aq))^(+) + Cl_((aq))^(-)# Some, but not all, of the molecules in a weak electrolyte that dissolves in water (solid, liquid, or gas) dissociate into ions, which then reassociate to form the molecules. There is an equilibrium reached where the rate at which the ions recombine to form molecules is equal to the rate at which the molecules dissociate. For instance, acetic acid #C_2H_3O_2H_((l)) rightleftharpoons C_2H_3O_2H_((aq)) rightleftharpoons C_2H_3O_(2(aq))^(-) + H_((aq))^+# It is evident from the double arrow that this reaction is in equilibrium.

undefined Dissolution with reaction refers to the process in which a substance dissolves in a solvent, accompanied by a chemical reaction between the solute and the solvent. This results in the formation of new chemical species as part of the dissolution process.
