Look up the solubility of NaCl in both water and ethanol (in the CRC handbook of chemistry which i don't have access to, and any help would be appreciated) Consider the dissolution process, and competing intermolecular forces to account for the observed differences in solubility.

Answer 1

I have looked in my CRC Handbook, an old copy, and I can't find that information. I looked in The Merck Index and found the solubility in water but not alcohol. Sorry

Answer 2

Ok thank-you anyway. I appreciate it.
