Why for smaller ions, degree of hydration is more(they are surrounded by more water molecules)?if a substance is dissolved, it gets surrounded by solvent molecules but how do non-potable solvents dissolve? Why solubility of solutes increases with temperatureeg:crystal lattice of Nacl(salt) breaks to a greater extent? Why partial pressure depend on mole fraction? Can you explain in detail?

As the extent of particle builds its polasiation propensity diminishes consequently the inclination to spellbind adjacent water atoms diminishes thus diminishing its hydration radii. This impact can be seen by watching the pattern of hydartion radii in salt metal particles.
