When Lithium chloride is dissolved in water, there is a steep rise in the temperature of the water. Based on the evidence, is the dissolution of lithium chloride endothermic, exothermic, or neither? Explain.
When some LiCl is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases. This means that: (A) the strength of the intermolecular forces between the water molecules is stronger than the bond energy within the LiCl lattice.
