The statement "the solution usually experiences no change in the melting or boiling point from the original solvent" is False. When substances are dissolved in a solvent, the properties of the resulting solution can change, including the melting and boiling points.
Here's why:
1. Melting Point: The melting point of a solution can differ from that of the pure solvent due to the presence of solutes. Adding a solute to a solvent typically lowers the melting point of the solution compared to the pure solvent. This phenomenon is known as freezing-point depression.
2. Boiling Point: Similarly, the boiling point of a solution can deviate from that of the pure solvent. When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the boiling point of the solution usually increases compared to the pure solvent. This is referred to as boiling-point elevation.
Therefore, when substances are dissolved together, the solution can indeed exhibit changes in its melting and boiling points compared to the original solvent.
