MCQ
At equilibrium, the rate of dissolution of a solid solute in a volatile liquid solvent is:
  • A
    Less than the rate of crystallisation
  • B
    Greater than the rate of crystallisation
  • Equal to the rate of crytallisation
  • D
    Zero

Answer

Correct option: C.
Equal to the rate of crytallisation
Crystallization is the process of the formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution.
In an unsaturated solution, the rate of dissolution of a solute in a volatile liquid solvent is greater than the rate of crystallization.
In a supersaturated solution, the rate of dissolution of a solute in a volatile liquid solvent is less than the rate of crystallization.
At equilibrium, the rate of dissolution of a solute in a volatile liquid solvent is equal to the rate of crystallization.
