ABSTRACT
As molecules absorb energy from their surroundings, they “move around” and their incipient kinetic energy increases. Each molecule will undoubtedly collide with another molecule of the same type, a molecule of solvent, or the walls of the container. Each collision will dissipate some energy to another molecule, to the solvent or to the sides of the container, and these collisions usually lead to an increase in heat for the system. Indeed, such molecular motion is one way in which molecules in solution transfer heat.
