Re: Physics & Chemistry




On a microscopic scale, the compression of the spring is really
the same as moving the adjacent atoms nearer to one another. In other words,
the PE is stored in the spring-like bonds between atoms.

When the metal dissolves and the atoms dissociate, you'll get that PE backR
in the form of slightly increased KE of the individual atoms.

PS i guess that means that the solution's temperature will go up?!
