The lattice enthalpy of KCI is positive, indicating that it takes energy to break the ions apart in KCI. However, the dissolution of KCI in water is an exothermic process. Identify all particle-particle interactions that contribute significantly to the exothermic dissolution process being exothermic. For each interaction, include the particles that interact and the specific type of intermolecular force between those particles.

A dilute solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride behaves as an ideal-dilute solution. The vapor pressure of pure CCI4 is 33.85 torr at 298 K. The Henry's Law constant when the concentration of Br2 is expressed as a mol fraction is 122.36 torr. Calculate the mole fraction of Br2 in the vapor when it's in equilibrium with a solution that has a mole fraction of Br2 equal to 0.050, having the assumption that the vapor still behaves as an ideal gas.

How to apply Raoult's law to real solutions Consider mixing a liquid with a vapor pressure of 100 torr with an equimolar amount of a liquid with a vapor pressure of 200 torr. The resulting solution would be predicted to have a vapor pressure of 150 torr if it behaved ideally. If, however, the interactions between the different components are not similar we can see positive or negative deviations from the calculated vapor pressure. An actual vapor pressure greater than that predicted by Raoult's law is said to be a positive deviation and an actual vapor pressure lower than that predicted by Raoult's law is a negative deviation.
