Question

dissolving an ionic compound in water usually results in an increase in disorder. which thermochemical law is this process related to? zeroth law of thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics third law of thermodynamics first law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (a measure of disorder) of an isolated system always increases over time. Dissolving an ionic compound in water increases disorder (entropy), which is related to the second law. The zeroth law is about thermal equilibrium, the first law is about energy conservation ($\Delta U = Q - W$), and the third law is about entropy at absolute zero ($S = 0$ at $T=0$ K).

Answer:

Second Law of Thermodynamics
