minus-squareTankieTanuki [he/him]hexbear2·edit-23 years agoRight, but those kinds of solutes don't separate; they just dissolve. Edit: it occurs to me now that you may have meant that the molecules separate from each other, not that the molecule themselves separate. link

thank you :very-smart:
Technically ions.

That is indeed what I meant
Gotcha. Sorry for going all very-smart on you then.
