b. ΔH2: energy associated with the separation of LiCl ions
c. ΔH3: energy associated with the formation of water-ion interaction
d. ΔH: The enthalpy of reaction
Predict what must happen when a beaker containing a solution of lithium chloride is heated.
a. The ΔH will decrease
b. The reaction will become endothermic
c. The ΔH3 value will increase
d. Energy will be transferred into the system
