Question
Answered step-by-step
Iodine $\left(\mathrm{I}_{2}\right)$ is only sparingly soluble in water (left photo). Yet upon the addition of iodide ions (for example, from $\mathrm{KI}$ ), iodine is converted to the triiodide ion, which readily dissolves (right photo): $$\mathrm{I}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{I}^{-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{I}_{3}^{-}(a q)$$Describe the change in solubility of $\mathrm{I}_{2}$ in terms of the change in intermolecular forces.

In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term "solution" is also used to refer to the resultant mixture. The solution is usually a fluid. The particles of a solute are dispersed or dissolved in the solvent. The resulting solution is also called the solvent. The solvent is the continuous phase.

In physics and thermodynamics, the natural tendency of a system to change its state is its tendency to increase the entropy of the system. It is a measure of the disorder in a system.
