Solution

Hhydration is the energy released when a solute dissolves in the solvent.
HU, lattice energy is the energy required for a solute to break up the interaction between their constituent ions.
So, for a solute to dissolve in the solvent: Hhydration>HU
Hence, a solute dissolves in water if HHydration is higher than HU.
