Hello.
00:01
In this question, we have been given that when ammonium nitrate nh4 no3 dissolves in water, the process is endothermic.
00:08
See, endothermic processes, which takes up heat from the surroundings.
00:12
Right.
00:13
Despite being energetically unfavorable, ammonium nitrate dissolves readily in water.
00:18
Why? and we have been given five statement choices, right? see, when we go through the statements, the right answer will be option b, which says the change in entropy is positive when the the solute is added to the water.
00:32
Okay, so let me write the answer first, then i'll explain why.
00:36
So answer is statement b, right, which says the change in entropy is positive.
00:43
The change in entropy is positive when the solute is added to the water...
