Question

Most of the collisions in a liquid are with the ____ molecules.

Answer

Most of the collisions in a liquid are with the solvent molecules.

Note: Roughly speaking, liquid molecules have around 100 times more collisions per second than gas molecules because liquid molecules are in much closer proximity to each other. However, most of the collisions in a liquid are with the solvent molecules rather than reactant molecules, and thus do not lead to a reaction.
