Chapter 12: Problem 7
For a given solute in water, the energy changes are \(\Delta E_{\text {solute separation }}=835 \mathrm{~kJ}\), \(\Delta E_{\text {solvent separation }}=98 \mathrm{~kJ}\), and \(\Delta E_{\text {solvation }}=-805 \mathrm{~kJ} .\) Will this solute dissolve in water? Explain your answer, both numerically and in terms of the three-step model for a solute's dissolving in a solvent.
