Out of the following, in which vessel will the temperature of the solution be higher after the salt is completely dissolved.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When salt crystals dissolves, crystal lattice is destroyed. The process requires a certain
amount of energy (latent heat) which is taken from the water.
In vessel , a part of intermolecular bonds has already been destroyed in crushing the crystal. Hence less energy is require to dissolve the powder and the water will be at higher temperature.
