(a) Define hydration energy.(1 mark)
(b) Given that: the hydration energies of Ca2+ and Cl- are -1891 kJ mol-1 and -384 kJ mol-1 respectively,and that the lattice energy of calcium chloride is +2237 kJ mol-1.Calculate the molar enthalpy change of solution of calcium chloride.

Answers


Davis
a)Energy change that occurs when one mole of gaseous ions become hydrated//form weak
bonds with water molecules

b)?Hsoln= Lattice energy + Hydration energy
=+2237+(-1891)+2(-384)
= -422 kJ mol-1
