Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing a solution with solvent and solute particles at its surface. Which of the following best describes the effect of solute particles on the surface area available for solvent evaporation?
A
Solute particles reduce the surface area available for solvent evaporation.
B
Solute particles increase the surface area available for solvent evaporation.
C
Solute particles do not affect the surface area available for solvent evaporation.
D
Solute particles replace solvent molecules at the surface, increasing evaporation.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In a solution, solute particles occupy part of the surface area, thus reducing the surface area available for solvent evaporation.
