question 86

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is true regarding solubility? Assume that the solute does not affect the solvent and we are dealing with dilute solutions.

• A) We can expect substances with positive enthalpies of solution always to be soluble.
• B) We can expect substances with positive enthalpies of solution always to be soluble only if the entropy of solution is negative.
• C) All the other statements are false because the solute always affects the solvent resulting in a negative entropy of solution.
• D) We can expect substances with negative enthalpies of solution always to be soluble.
• E) We can expect substances with positive enthalpies of solution always to be soluble only if the entropy of solution is positive.
