Question
The image shows a solute being added to liquid in a beaker.What statement BEST describes the movement of the solute particles? [B.2G]Select one:a.The solute particles will mix in the beginning and then collect together at the bottom of the beaker.b.The solute particles will spread out to an area of high concentration.c.The solute particles spread out evenly because of the random motion of molecules.d.The solute particles will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration only when energy is applied to the solution.
Solution
c. The solute particles spread out evenly because of the random motion of molecules.
This is the best description of the movement of solute particles. This process is known as diffusion, where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. This happens due to the random motion of molecules.
