Solution

Solution:-
BaCl2(s)+aq.BaCl2aq.ΔH=20.6kJ/mol.....(1)
BaCl2.2H2O(s)+aq.BaCl2(aq.)+2H2OΔH=8kJ/mol
BaCl2(aq.)+2H2OBaCl2.2H2O(s)+aq.ΔH=8kJ/mol.....(2)
Adding eqn(1)&(2), we have
BaCl2(s)+aq.+BaCl2(aq.)+2H2O(l)BaCl2aq.+BaCl2.2H2O(s)+aq.ΔH=(20.6)+(8)
BaCl2(s)+2H2O(l)BaCl2.2H2OΔH=28.6kJ/mol
Hence the heat of hydration of anhydrous BaCl2 is 28.6kJ/mol.
