Solution

The correct option is B Hsolution=Hlattice+Hhydration
ΔHhydration is the enthalpy change when one mole of anhydrous substance undergoes complete combustion.
ΔHfusion is the enthalpy change that accompanies melting of one mole of solid substance.
ΔHsolution is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is dissolved in large excess of solvent, so that on further dilution no appreciable heat change occur.
So, ΔHsolution=ΔHlattice+ΔHhydration.
