Question
Consider the endothermic dissolution of a solid in a solvent. Think about the different interactions that will occur in this process and use either positive or negative to fill in the blanks.
The enthalpy of the solute-solute interactions will be_______, the enthalpy of the solvent-solvent interactions will be_______, and the enthalpy of the solute-solvent interactions will be_________.Overall the enthalpy of the solution will be___________ since the solute-solvent interactions will not be dominant.
Explanation / Answer
The enthalpy of the solute-solute interactions will be more positive due to more negative heats,he enthalpy of the solvent-solvent interactions will be positive due to enthalphy of solvation should be negative,the enthalpy of the solute-solvent interactions will be positive because it releases lot of energy,Overall the enthalpy of the solution will be positive.
