Answer:

When chromium chloride, CrCl2, is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. ... The attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions is stronger, because the reaction is endothermic means the energy released in formation is less than the energy required in breaking bond.
