Many ionic crystals dissolve in water because [NCERT 1982] (a) Water is an amphiprotic solvent (b) Water is a high boiling liquid (c) The process is accompanied by a positive heat of solution (d) Water decreases the interionic attraction in the crystal lattice due to solvation
Solution : Many ionic crystals dissolve in water because water decreases the interionic attraction in the crystal lattice due to solvation
