Why do some substances dissolve while others remain stubbornly solid?
In short: This video explores the thermodynamic principles governing dissolution. You will learn how free energy determines whether a substance will dissolve in a solvent, a fundamental concept in AP Chemistry.
The video examines the role of Gibbs free energy in predicting the spontaneity of a dissolution process. By understanding the relationship between enthalpy and entropy, students can grasp why certain chemical substances dissolve readily while others do not.
