Chapter 11, Problem 2PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The forces that must be destroyed to form the solution of iodine $\left({\text{I}}_2\right)$ in hexane $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{14}}\right)$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A solution is formed on the dissolution of a solute in a solvent. A nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar molecules by breaking some of the intermolecular forces among the particles of the solvent. Some new bonds between solute and solvent form on dissolution.
