The enthalpy of solution of NaCl in water is about 3.88 kJ/mol. However, the solubility of NaCl in water is relatively high. Which statement about the entropy of the solution process explains why NaCl dissolves in water even though the process is endothermic? a. the entropy increases when NaCl dissolves in water
b. the entropy remains the same when NaCl dissolves in water
c. the entropy decreases when NaCl dissolves in water
d. entropy has nothing to do with the solution process

C is correct option.

Explanation:

c. The entropy decreases when NaCl dissolves in water. THANKS. MARK AS BRAINLIST PLEASE.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
