Identify which ONE of the following statements is INCORRECT relating to the dissolution of ionic solids.    a. Dissolution involves a balance of attractive and repulsive forces in the crystal structure and between ions and water molecules.     b. Hydration shells of water molecules form around each ion in solution.     c. Ion-dipole interactions form between the ions and water.     d. The enthalpy of dissolution mu

What are the three mechanisms that contribute to the formation of a solid solution?

Polar molecules have strong intermolecular attractions to each other. Use your knowledge of intermolecular forces to explain the reason nonpolar solutes don't dissolve in polar solvents. What happens to a nonpolar solute in a nonpolar solvent?

7. Ethylene glycol is the active ingredient in most commercial automobile antifreeze. Why wouldn't sodium chloride be used in a similar way? a. Sodium chloride solute does not lower the freezing point of water. b. Sodium chloride does not dissolve in water. c. Sodium chloride lowers the freezing point of water but has other undesirable characteristics. d. Sodium chloride is a solid while ethylene glycol is a liquid. Explain your answer:   6. How would the freezing and boiling points of distilled water and seawater compare? a. Both the freezing and boiling points of seawater would be lower. b. Both the freezing and boiling points of seawater would be higher. c. The seawater freezing point would be lower and the seawater boiling point higher. d. The seawater freezing point would be higher and the seawater boiling point lower. Explain your answer:   5.
