What happens when a solid is dissolved into a liquid? solid particles float toward the surface layer of liquid particles. solid particles sink down toward the bottom layer of liquid particles. solid particles become evenly dispersed among liquid particles. solid particles become suspended in the middle of liquid particles.

The answer is; Solid particles become evenly dispersed among liquid particles.

This is due to diffusion. The particles disperse from the larger particle (after putting it in the solvent), where the molecules of the solute are in high concentration, and begin to scatter in the liquid, where the concentration of this molecule is low. This continues until equilibrium is achieved (the molecule of the solute are evenly distributed in the solute/solution).

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we dissolve a solid particle in water then water molecules tend to enter into the vacant spaces present within the lattice of the solid.

As a result, particles of the solid evenly dispersed into water. This will show that the solid has dissolved into water.

For example, table salt when added to water then it completely disperse into the water.

When particles of the solid are bigger in size then they will sink down towards the bottom. Whereas when particles of the solid are very small like micro-particles then they will remain suspended in the liquid.

Thus, we can conclude that when a solid is dissolved into a liquid then solid particles become evenly dispersed among liquid particles.
