Even though the process is endothermic, the dissolving of the solid increases the entropy enough to more than compensate for the drop in temperature.

Why dissolving Ammonium nitrate(NH4NO3) in water is an endothermic although the temperature of the solution decreases?

The energy needed to support the endothermic reaction is supplied by the solution; thus the solution temperaturedecreases.If the reaction were exothermic, the solution temperature would increase.


How can you dissolve more solute in a saturated solution?

You can dissolve more by heating the solution.


What is saturated solution and unsaturated solution?

Saturated solution is a solution that did dissolve to the maximum capacity. Unsaturated solution is a solution that didn't dissolve to the maximum capacity.


Dissolving ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process A sample of ammonium nitrate is placed in a beaker of water and immediately begins to dissolve What exactly occurs during this proces?

The temperature of the solution decreases


What happens if the solution undergoes an endothermic change?

an endothermic reaction is usually the break down of a product into its reactants. in order for it to be broken down, energy is needed usually in form of heat. for example, when you dissolve ammonium chloride in water, you would notice that the solution would go cold, meaning the heat is being absorbed in order to break down the ammonium chloride. all endothermic reactions have a positive delta H.


What is a solution that can dissolve no more than solute?

A saturated solution is one that can dissolve no more of the solute at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent, and any additional solute will not dissolve and will instead form a precipitate.


How can you make more salt dissolve in a saturated solution?

You can dissolve more by heating the solution.


When you dissolve a substance in a liquid do you get an alloy compound or a solution?
