Problem: When ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is dissolved in water, the solution becomes colder. Why does the solution form? What drives the process?
FREE Expert Solution
We’re going to use the theory “likes” dissolving “likes” which states that the solvent can only completely dissolve the solute if they share similar polarity.
• Therefore, a pure solvent with similar polarity can successfully dissolve a solute to create a solution.
