Question

What is hydration enthalpy?

Open in App

Solution

The heat energy released when new bonds are made between the ions and water molecules is known as the hydration enthalpy of the ion.

The hydration enthalpy is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions dissolve in sufficient water to give an infinitely dilute solution. Hydration enthalpies are always negative.
