What do you think and why?
Answered by

I think the answer could be B because in order for a reaction to occur it must be a favored reaction

I agree and for that reason. D is the reverse for a true statement, the negative is true for c. A is true but doesn't go far enough but could be negative and dissolution could still take place.
