When ammonium chloride dissolves in water, the solution becomes colder. (a) is the solution process exothermic or endothermic? (b) why does the solution form?

it is endothermic

Explanation:

When ammonium nitrate is dissolved in water, no new products are formed. It absorbs heat from the surroundings. It is called the energy of hydration. The ∆H for this process is negative. Hence, it is an endothermic process.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
