How does the energy required to dissolve haloalkanes in water compare to the energy released when new attractions are formed with water molecules?
Options
- AEnergy required is higher than energy released.
- BEnergy required is lower than energy released.
- CEnergy required is equal to energy released.
- DEnergy required is unpredictable.
Correct answer
A. Energy required is higher than energy released.
Step-by-step solution
Less energy is released when new attractions are set up between haloalkanes and water molecules, and therefore, more energy is required to dissolve haloalkanes in water.
