A. No, b/c he loses the potential energy of the objects he leaves...
Hmm... so let me see if I understand this:
- We know that the delta G value is some negative number.
- We also know that the overall delta S for the reaction will be some positive number, because entropy will increase in a dissolution.
wait... *lightbulb*
So the deltaH that we get out of the...
