Enthalpy of Solution — Quiz

Question 7 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

What is the triangle cap h sub sol for NaCl rightarrow Na raised to the plus plus Cl raised to the negative power power ? The lattice energy is negative 788 kJ/mol , the enthalpy of hydration for Na raised to the plus power is negative 410 kJ/mol , and the enthalpy of hydration for Cl raised to the negative power is negative 313 kJ/mol Use triangle cap h sub sol is equal to negative triangle cap h sub lat plus triangle cap h sub hydr

Answer
A
1 comma 511 kJ/mol
B
65 kJ/mol
C
negative 1 comma 511 kJ/mol
D
negative 855 kJ/mol

Explanation

Add the hydration enthalpies: −410 kJ/mol + (−313 kJ/mol) = −723 kJ/mol. The formula gives ΔHsol = −ΔHlat + ΔHhydr, so ΔHsol = −(−788 kJ/mol) + (−723 kJ/mol) = 788 − 723 = 65 kJ/mol. The correct choice is 65 kJ/mol.
