Question:
Salt A and salt B were each dissolved in separate beakers of water at 21°C. The temperature of the salt A solution decreased, and the temperature of the salt B solution increased. Based on these results, which conclusion is correct?
1) The water gained energy from both salt A and salt B. 2) The water lost energy to both salt A and salt B. 3) The water gained energy from salt A and lost energy to salt B. 4) The water lost energy to salt A and gained energy from salt B.
Answer:
"The water lost energy to salt A and gained energy from salt B" is correct
Explanation:
It takes just somewhat greater energy to distinct the ions from one another than is unconfined from the water molecules adjacent the ions. This means just somewhat additional or extra energy must be put into the solution than is unconfined back into the solution. Therefore dissolving table salt in water leads to endothermic reaction. The dissolving salt into the water is an endothermic. It also implies, when the salt when dissolved in the water the temperature of the solution now is lower than earlier.
