Hi,

The enthalpy of crystallization of $KCl$ (Potassium Chloride) is + 715 kJ/mol. The enthalpies of hydration for Potassium and Chloride are -322 and -363 kJ/mol respectively. So, enthalpy of solution of $KCl \Delta H_{sol}=\Delta H_{lattice} - \Delta H_{hyd}$

$\Delta H_{sol}=715 kJ/mol -685 kJ/mol= 30 kJ/mol.$

But if you see table of enthalpy of solution, it is -17.22 kJ/mol for $KCl(s).$ Obviously, our experiment value 30 kJ/mol indicates dissolving $KCl$ into water is endothermic reaction. Should the temperature increase or decrease when $KCl$ dissolves?

My answer is temperature increase when $KCl$ dissolves.

What types of interaction are present when $CaCl_2$ dissolves in ethanol($CH_3CH_2OH)$?
My answer: Ion-dipole

What is the major type of interaction when toluene$C_7H_8$ dissolves in benzene$C_6H_6?$
Answer is unknown.

Which ion has a larger absolute value of enthalpy of hydration, $Na^+$ or $Ca^{2+}$?
My answer: $Ca^{2+}$

Which ion is larger, $Na^+$ or $Cl^-?$
My answer is $Cl^-$

When $KNO_3$ is dissolving in water, will the temperature decrease or increase?
My answer:Temperature will increase.

Are my answers correct?

I'm seeing slightly different numbers from different sources and I'm not sure why.
Either way, with your numbers it takes 715 kJ/mol to break the lattice, and 685 kJ/mol is released when we dissolve the ions.
The result is positive, meaning that it takes energy to dissolve $\ce{K Cl}$, which is indeed endothermic.

Should the temperature increase or decrease when $KCl$ dissolves?
My answer is temperature increase when $KCl$ dissolves.

It takes energy to dissolve the crystal, which must come from somewhere.
It means that the temperature will decrease instead of increase.

Correct.

What is the major type of interaction when toluene$C_7H_8$ dissolves in benzene$C_6H_6?$
Answer is unknown.

This page lists it as dispersion.

My answer: $Ca^{2+}$

My answer is $Cl^-$

You didn't explain why... but yeah, that looks correct to me.

When $KNO_3$ is dissolving in water, will the temperature decrease or increase?
My answer:Temperature will increase.

It appears that $\ce{K NO3}$ also has a positive enthalpy of solution.
It means that the temperature will decrease as well since it takes energy to dissolve.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
