Use the following data to explain why NaCl is soluble in water: ∆H = +31 kJmol-1, S(Na+(aq)) = 320.9 JK-1mol-1, S(Cl-(aq)) = 56.5 JK-1mol-1, S(NaCl(s)) = 72.1 JK-1mol-1 Are there any temperatures at which you would not expect NaCl to dissolve?

This is a nice simple calculation question which explores some basic thermodynamic principles and begins to apply them to simple reactions (in this case, solid salt dissolving in water) allowing predictio...
