The heat of solution refers to the heat energy absorbed or released during the dissolution of a solute in a solvent. This process can be classified as endothermic (heat absorbed) or exothermic (heat released). The formation of a solution involves three key steps: expanding the solute by separating it into individual components (ΔH1), expanding the solvent by overcoming intermolecular forces (ΔH2), and the interaction of solute and solvent to form the solution (ΔH3). Utilizing solubility charts can aid in predicting the formation of solutions.

Heat of Solution The Heat of Solution is the amount of heat energy absorbed (endothermic) or released (exothermic) when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent.
Steps in Solution Formation H1Step 1 - Expanding the solute Separating the solute into individual components
Steps in Solution Formation H2Step 2-Expanding the solvent Overcoming intermolecular forces of the solvent molecules
Steps in Solution Formation H3Step 3 - Interaction of solute and solvent to form the solution
