If a solution process is exothermic, how does the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released?
the energy required is more than the energy released.
the energy required is equal to the energy released.
the energy required is less than the energy released.

The bubbles in a carbonated soft drink are produced when carbonic acid decomposes to form carbon dioxide and water. in a closed system, this equilibrium exists as why does a carbonated soft drink lose carbonation when the container is left open? a.water evaporates, which favors the formation of h2co3. b.pressure decreases, which favors the formation of h2co3. c.the open container warms up, which causes more gas to escape. d.co2is removed, which favors the formation of h2co3.
