Solution Equilibrium and Factors Affecting Solubility

The enthalpy of solution for cesium fluoride is —36.8 kj/mol. What can you conclude about the relative magnitudes of Af/joiute and A/fhydration  

When sodium chloride is first added to water, sodium and chloride ions begin to dissolve into the water. 

As the solution becomes more concentrated, some of the sodium and chloride ions can begin to rectystallize as solid sodium chloride. 

When the rate of dissolution equals the rate of recrystallization, dynamic equilibrium has been reached. 

Rate of dissolution = Rate of recrystallization (c) Dynamic equilibrium
