Question

Define enthalpy of dilution

Answer 1

Answer: The heat of dilution, or enthalpy of dilution, refers to the enthalpy change associated with the dilution process of a component in a solution at a constant pressure. If the initial state of the component is a pure liquid (presuming the solution is liquid), the dilution process is equal to its dissolution process and the heat of dilution is the same as the heat of solution. Generally, the heat of dilution is normalized by the mole number of the solution and its dimensional units are energy per unit mass or amount of substance, commonly expressed in the unit of kJ/mol (or J/mol).
