Question

How does dissolving a salt molecule in water make its atoms ionize?

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark as brainliest

Dissolving a salt molecule in water does not make its atoms ionize. The atoms in solid salts are already ionized long before touching water. ... Such atoms are therefore chemically reactive. A well-known salt is sodium chloride (table salt), so let's use it as an example.

Answer 2

Answer:

When salts are put in water, the ions are seperated and water molecules which are polar in nature surround each of these ions and dont allow them to stick together. This is the process of dissolution. The energy released when water molecues stick to these ions is called Hydration enthalpy.

A salt will dissolve in water when hyradion enthalpy is greater than lattice enthalpy
