The enthalpy of solution of NaCl in water is about 3.88 kJ/mol. However, the solubility of NaCl in water is relatively high. Which statement about the entropy of the solution process explains why NaCl dissolves in water even though the process is endothermic? a. the entropy increases when NaCl dissolves in water
b. the entropy remains the same when NaCl dissolves in water
c. the entropy decreases when NaCl dissolves in water
d. entropy has nothing to do with the solution process

C is correct option.

Explanation:

c. The entropy decreases when NaCl dissolves in water. THANKS. MARK AS BRAINLIST PLEASE.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
