Which way of dissolving changes the chemical identity of the solute?
hint: think about attractions between the particles of each solute.

select all that apply.

a) dispersion
b) ionization
c) disintegration
d) dissociation

ionization, dissociation

Explanation:

A solute may be dissolved in a solvent because it ionizes in solution or because it dissociates in solution. For instance, when iron metal is dissolved in acid, it is oxidized to FeIII. The chemical identity of the solute has been changed. Similarly, many substances dissociate in solution hence changing the original chemical identity of the solute.
