Best Answer

When ionic solids (such as table salt) dissolve in water, they are completely dissociated into ions. For example, when NaCl (table salt) is dissolved, it is "split" into Cl- and Na+ (an anion and a cation).

This is because water molecules are polar and produce a stronger attractive force on the individual anions and cations than the ions do on themselves. This is the reason why water can dissolve so many substances and why it is considered a universal solvent.

Gel-space ratio in concrete?

Gel space ratio is the ratio of volume of hydrated solids in pores to the total volume of pores available before hydration. It's given by X = (volume of gel) / (volume of gel + volume of pores) where Gel is solid hydrated product


Which ions are formed when sodium sulfate and silver nitrate are dissolved in water?

Hydrated sodium, sulfate, silver, and nitrate ions. (The ions already exist in the sodium sulfate and silver nitrate solids, but may not be hydrated there.) since silver sulfate is not very soluble in water, most of the silver and sulfate ions will be removed from the water as solid precipitate, but some hydrated ions will remain in solution.


What is the water trapped in the solids called?

That rather depends on how it is trapped. You are probably thinking of water of crystallization, where water is a constituent part of the crystal structure, such as in CuSO4.5H2O, hydrated (blue) copper sulfate.
