(top) Pure samples of<br />

two different gases are in separate bulbs. (bottom) When the connecting stopcock is opened,<br />

diffusion causes the two gases to mix together <strong>and</strong> form a solution. Even though ΔHsoln is zero for<br />

the process, the increased entropy of the solution (the increased disorder) versus that of the<br />

separate gases favors solution formation.<br />

Considering LiCl, benzoic acid (C 6H 5CO 2H), <strong>and</strong> naphthalene, which will be most soluble <strong>and</strong> which will be<br />

least soluble in water?<br />

Given: three compounds<br />

Asked for: relative solubilities in water<br />

Strategy:<br />

Assess the relative magnitude of the enthalpy change for each step in the process shown in . Then use to<br />

predict the solubility of each compound in water <strong>and</strong> arrange them in order of decreasing solubility.<br />

Solution:<br />
