Key Questions
Here are some questions to think about before, during and after this week's experiment:

1. What happens to the temperature of the solution for exo- and endothermic reactions?

2. How is entropy changing in a dissolution reaction? What is the sign of S?

3. How do enthalpy and entropy contribute to G for each reaction?
