Q1
A molecular solid dissolves in water: $\text{A}(s) \rightarrow \text{A}(aq)$. The dissolution is observed to cool the solution, so $\Delta H_{\text{soln}}>0$, and the ordering of water around A causes $\Delta S_{\text{soln}}<0$. At which temperatures, if any, is dissolution thermodynamically favored?
