Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the cooling of the solution when salt (NaCl) dissolves in water, even if it is a spontaneous process.
Introduction:
A spontaneous reaction can be defined as the reaction thatproceeds with the release of energy whenever any physical or chemical change takes place. According to the second law of the

Calculate the freezing point, T;, and boiling point, Tp, of the solution. Constants can be found in the table of colligative constants. %3D °C Tp = °Carrow_forwardendothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings. If chemicals for an endothermic reaction are added to water, the water's temperature drops (the water gets colder! Ever use a first aid "cold pack", where you squeeze a pouch to release chemicals inside and the pouch becomes ice cold? That's an endothermic reaction!) For endothermic reactions, when you use the equation Q = m x C x (delta T), the "Q" is a negative number because the water LOSES energy. The answer is negative because the water temperature drops, the CHANGE registered on the thermometer is negative. Type a negative number to answer this question: if your water starts at 19 degrees Celsius, and a couple of minutes after adding chemicals the water temperature becomes 15 degrees, the value of "delta T" is degrees Celsius. *arrow_forward
