It is found when an unknown solid solute is dissolved in water that the solubility of the solid increases if temperature is decreased. What can be determined about the entropy and enthalpy of the dissolution of this unknown solid? not enough information to make a determination entropy is increased, exothermic entropy is decreased, exothermic entropy is increased, endothermic entropy is decreased, endothermic

exothermic entropy is increased

Explanation:

An exothermic process is one whose rate increases when the temperature is decreased. Hence if a decrease in temperature favours the dissolution of more solute at equilibrium, then the process is exothermic.

Similarly, the dissolution of a solute in a solvent increases the disorderliness (entropy) of the system because of the increase in the number of particles present. Hence once a solute in dissolved, the entropy of the system increases.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
