Question 9 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which statement defines the enthalpy of solution?

Answer
A
the difference in characteristics between reactants and products
B
the total number of particles in a solution
C
the change in energy when one substance dissolves in another
D
the phase change from a solid to a liquid

Explanation

The enthalpy of solution is the energy change that occurs when a substance dissolves in a solvent. Therefore, choice C, “the change in energy when one substance dissolves in another,” gives the definition. It is not a count of particles or a solid-to-liquid phase change.
