Asked by Cortney
To dissolve an ionic solid in water, you must first disrupt the ionic bonds that are holding the ionic lattice together. This is an endothermic process, yet many ionic solids have an exothermic heat of solution. (Heat is released when the ionic solid is dissolved.) This is because:
A. all heats of solution are negative.
B. all heats of solution are positive.
C. more energy is released when water molecules surround the ions.
D. more energy is absorbed when water molecules surround the ions.
E. ionic bonds are very weak.
