Answer;

Ions from the solute have a strong attraction to the polar solvent

Explanation;

  • When sodium is added to water, the sodium ions Na+ are attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while chloride ions Cl- are attracted to the positively charged hydrogen side of water molecule.

  • The process can be represented by this equation.
