When sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in water, energy is absorbed (endothermic process). Which of the following statements best explains why NaCl is highly soluble in water? Water molecules interact more strongly with Na+ and Cl¯ ions than these ions interact with themselves. The presence of Na+ and Cl- ions in solution restricts the number of configurations that water molecules can adopt. Na+ and Cl¯ ions are more energetically stable in aqueous solution. Na+ and Cl- ions, as well as water molecules, adopt a larger number of configurations when they mixed with each other.

Which of the following phenomena is best described by Henry’s Law?a. Increasing temperature favors an endothermic process.b. The solubility of NaCl(s) in water increases with increasing temperature.c. The solubility of MgCl2(s) in water is unaffected by pressure.d. The vapor pressure of an aqueous solution of glucose, C6H12O6, is lower than the vapor pressure of pure water.e. The solubility of O2(g) in water increases with increasing pressure.
Colligative properties are those that depend on the number of solute particles. Because electrolytes dissociate into ions, the concentration of particles in the solution is greater than the formula-unit concentration of the solution. For example, if 1 mol of NazSO4 totally dissociates, 3 mol of ions are produced (2 mol of Nat ions and 1 mol of SO, ions). Thus, a colligative property such as osmotic pressure will be three times greater for a 1 M NazSO, solution than for a 1 M nonelectrolyte solution. Part A Assuming complete dissociation of the solute, how many grams of KNO3 must be added to 275 mL of water to produce a solution that freezes at - 14.5 °C? The freezing point for pure water is 0.0 °C and Kf is equal to 1.86 °C/m. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. • View Available Hint(s) However, complete dissociation of electrolytes does not always occur.
