Can't figure why some try to wing it and omit the link that tells you something drawn from the major league genius of the 19th and 20th centuries..
http://www2.ijs.si/~kkocevar/skripta.pdf 3.1 Interactions between molecules 3.1.1 Coulomb interactions: Born solvation energy of an ion >Equations in here< "The Born energy of ions in water is usually quite large. For example: The change of free energy by transferring 1 mole of anions and cations from vacuum to water is (assuming a = 0.14 nm) is -1000 kJmol-1." Concievably the"Bubble" could be the void space surrounding the hydrated ions. Any reason that these pulled from the Joe Cell can't dump megajoules of energy in the ICE cylinder?
