1. on the basis of your results, what is the relationship between the temperature of the solvent and the rate of solution formation?

As the temperature increases, the rate of formation of solution increases.

Explanation:

Solvent is defined as a substance which is present in larger proportion in a solution. Solute is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.

As, the temperature of the solvent increases, the kinetic energy of the particles of solvent increases and the intermolecular spacing between the solvent particles increases and therefore, this results in the more dissolution of the solute particles in the solvent and hence, the formation of solution increases.

Therefore, there is a direct relationship between the temperature of the solvent and the formation of the solution.

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
