Energy and the Solution Process (13.1.4)

Question 1

• The solubility of a substance depends on the enthalpy change and the entropy change for its solvation.

Answer 1

• The solubility of a substance depends on the enthalpy change and the entropy change for its solvation.

Question 2

• Solvation requires breaking intermolecular bonds within the solute and the solvent and then forming new intermolecular bonds in the solution.

• Solvation requires breaking intermolecular bonds within the solute and the solvent and then forming new intermolecular bonds in the solution.

Question 3

• Most solvation processes have a net increase in entropy; however, there are exceptions.
