Question

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

Explanation:

The Second Law of Thermodynamics relates to the concept of entropy (disorder). Dissolving an ionic compound in water increasing disorder (entropy) aligns with this law, which deals with the direction of spontaneous processes and entropy change. The First Law is about energy conservation, the Zeroth about thermal equilibrium, and the Third about entropy at absolute zero—none match the disorder increase here.

Answer:

D. Second Law of Thermodynamics
