Question

Which is the first step in the dissolving process?
The solute becomes like the solvent.
The solute molecules are carried into the solution.
The solvent molecules surround the solute particles.
The solvent molecules are attracted to particles at the surface of the solute.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

The solvent molecules are attracted to particles at the surface of the solute.

Explanation: attraction of solvent molecules to the solute surface is the initial step; this interaction pulls surface particles away, then solvent molecules surround (solvate/hydrate) and carry them into solution.

The solute molecules are carried into the solution.
The solvent molecules surround the solute particles.
The solvent molecules are attracted to particles at the surface of the solute.
