Answer:
The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.
Explanation:
..[1]
..[2]
..[3]
..[4]
2 × [2] - [1]- [3] = [4] (Using Hess's law)
The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.
In terms of the most common type of salt, sodium chloride, NaCl is the chemical formula of this salt,
Answer: D. An increase in entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.
To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.
In the context of multivalent ions, it is when it has multiple oxidative states.
