Which statement includes all the steps in the change that is associated with the enthalpy of solution? solute separation and mixing reaction of reactants to form products. solute and solvent mixing and then separating solute separation, solvent separation, and then mixing

solute separation, solvent separation, and then mixing

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of solution simply means the amount of heat which can be released or absorbed when dissolving. The enthalpy of solution is usually expressed at constant temperature in kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of solution requires three main stages:

1. Solute separation: This is when the solute is broken down. In this case, all the intramolecular forces which holds the solute together is broken.

2. Solvent separation: This is when the solvent is broken down all the intramolecular forces which holds the solvent together is broken.

3. Mixing- In this case, the solute and the solvent is mixed for a solution.
