NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is the enthalpy of solution at infinite dilution?
Options
- AThe enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in a large amount of solvent.
- BThe enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in a very small amount of solvent.
- CThe enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in an infinite amount of solvent.
- DThe enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in a saturated solution.
Correct answer
C. The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in an infinite amount of solvent.
Step-by-step solution
The enthalpy of solution at infinite dilution is the enthalpy change observed when one mole of a substance dissolves in an infinite amount of solvent, where interactions between the solute particles are negligible.
