Why are some solution processes exothermic whereas others are endothermic ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
The overall energy change associated with dissolution depends on the relative magnitude of the solute–solute , solvent–solvent and solute–solvent interactions. The process is exothermic if the new interaction release more energy than disrupting the old interactions requires, it is endothermic if opposite is true.
