When sodium chloride is dissolved in water energy is absorbed potential energy of the product Na aq Cl aq have higher potential energy than NaCl s H 0 1 Which statement is consistent with the very high solubility of NaCl in water The presence of Na and Cl restrict the number of possible configurations that water can adopt Na and Cl are more energetically stable in the aqueous solution Water interacts with Na and Cl ions more strongly than with other water molecules Na and Cl and water also adopt more configurations when mixed together
