Question: What is the relation between hydration and solvation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Solvation is the interaction of a solvent with the dissolved solute and solvation with water as a solvent is called hydration

Step by step solution

01

Hydration

Hydration is the process of chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water.

02

solvation

Solvation is the mechanism by which solvent and solute molecules are recognized in the solvation complexes.

03

relation between hydration and solvation

The act of attracting and associating molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute is known as solvation. As ions dissolve in a solvent, they spread out and become surrounded by solvent molecules and form solvation complexes. This process is called solvation.

If the solvent is water, then this process is called hydration.
