Abstract:
Enthalpies of reaction of MoF6(ℓ) in NaOH solutions, of MoO3(cr) in NaOH solutions, of NaF(cr) in MoO3-NaOH solutions, and of NaF(cr) in H2O(ℓ) were measured to obtain the enthalpy of reaction of MoF6(ℓ) in infinitely dilute NaOH solution:

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
