Can you make a prediction about which ionic compounds will cause an increase or decrease in the temperature of the solution when

they dissolve in water?

Answer:

If the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy of the solute, then the enthalpy of solution is positive(exothermic), otherwise it is negative(exothermic).

Explanation:

  • The process of dissolving can be endothermic (temperature goes down) or exothermic (temperature goes up).
  • When water dissolves a substance, the water molecules attract and “bond” to the particles (molecules or ions) of the substance causing the particles to separate from each other.
  • The “bond” that a water molecule makes is not a covalent or ionic bond. It is a strong attraction caused by water’s polarity.
  • It takes energy to break the bonds between the molecules or ions of the solute.
  • In an ionic solution, the existence of the lattice energy and hydration energy largely determines if the solution is exothermic or endothermic.

        Lattice Energy:  It is a measure of the cohesive forces that bind ions.

        Hydration energy: is the amount of energy released when one mole        of ions undergo hydration.

  • Energy is released when water molecules bond to the solute molecules or ions.
  • If it takes more energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes down (endothermic) i.e hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy.
  • If it takes less energy  to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes up (exothermic) i.e hydration energy is less than lattice energy.

EFFECTS Of The<br> HUMAN INTERVATION OF THE<br> CARBON CYCLE.
vladimir2022 [97]

Human activities have a tremendous impact on the carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all transfer significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. ... This extra carbon dioxide is lowering the ocean's pH, through a process called ocean acidification.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
