The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

The lattice enthalpy (formation of ionic solid from ions in the gas phase) for agcl(s) is -916 kj/mol and the hydration enthalpy (dissolution of gaseous ions into water) is -850 kj/mol. how much heat (in joules) is involved in forming 1l of saturated agcl solution (1.8 × 10-4 g / 100 ml water) by dissolving agcl(s)? assume solution volume does not change much upon dissolution. the equations are given below. ag+(g) + cl−(g) æ agcl(s)
