What Substance Dissolves Endothermically?

Potassium chloride dissolved the most endothermically, and calcium chloride dissolved the most exothermically.

Why do some salts dissolve Exothermically and some dissolve Endothermically?

Dissolution of sodium chloride (table salt) in water is endothermic. ... This is because more energy is released upon formation of solute-solvent bonds than was required to break apart the hydrogen bonds in water, as well as the ionic bonds in KOH.

How does potassium chloride dissolve in water?

2: As potassium chloride (KCl) dissolves in water, the ions are hydrated. ... Ion-dipole forces attract the positive (hydrogen) end of the polar water molecules to the negative chloride ions at the surface of the solid, and they attract the negative (oxygen) ends to the positive potassium ions.
