Q. Statement 1: The dissolution of gases in water is always an endothermic process
Statement 2: The dissolution of gases in water proceed with a negative value of $\Delta S$

Solutions

Solution:

The dissolution of gases in water requires energy, hence it is endothermic in nature, but during dissolution entropy may increase or decrease
