disolve

Dissolve is a term used to describe the process by which a solute becomes uniformly dispersed throughout a solvent, forming a solution. This happens when the attractive forces between the solute particles and the solvent particles are strong enough to overcome the attractive forces within the solute and within the solvent. The solute particles are then surrounded by solvent molecules and spread out evenly. The amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature is known as its solubility. Some substances dissolve readily in certain solvents, while others are insoluble or have very limited solubility. The process of dissolving is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure (especially for gases), and the nature of both the solute and the solvent. For example, increasing the temperature generally increases the solubility of solids in liquids. When a solution contains the maximum amount of solute it can hold at a given temperature, it is said to be saturated. If more solute is added, it will not dissolve and may settle at the bottom. Dissolving is a fundamental concept in chemistry and has wide-ranging applications in various fields, including medicine, industry, and everyday life.
