Calculate the hydration enthalpy of ions for NaCl(s) from the following data.
ΔlatticeH=+788 kJmol−1
ΔsolH=+4 kJmol−1
Lattice enthalpy ΔLatticeH:
Energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous constituent ions.
Standard lattice enthalpy ΔLatticeHo:
Energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous constituent ions at unit pressure (1 bar) and temperature of 298 K.
Standard enthalpy of hydration ΔhydHoConditions specified = 1 bar and 298 K
Enthalpy change when one mole of anhydrous or partially hydrated salt combines with the requisite amount of water to form a new hydrated stable salt at unit pressure (1 bar) and 298 K.
Integral enthalpy of solution/enthalpy of dissolution:
Enthalpy change when one mole of the solute is dissolved in a definite amount of the solvent to make a solution.
ΔsolnH=ΔhydH+ΔlatticeH
