Given the question, in which solvent should Na+ have the most negative enthalpy of solvation?
out of CCl4, H2O,C6H6 CS2 and CH3OCH3
i chose water.
my reason - Because Na+ is an ion, water being so bloody polar, it would be favourable to dissolve, more so in this than in any of the other's
and a negative enthalpy = favourable reaction?
IT IS HOMEWORK, i know. but i just need a simple right or wrong,![]()
