16. If both of the factors of Question 15 are large energy quantities, why is a prediction of solubilities of salts so difficult?

17. What is bond energy? Why is the standard heat of formation of a molecule not the same as the sum of bond energies of all of the bonds in the molecule? What is the missing component?

18. Why does a simple bond-energy calculation fail for benzene?

19. How does your answer to Question 18 also pertain to the heat of combustion of carbon-containing substances?
