Lattice enthalpy and enthalpy of solution of

Question:

Lattice enthalpy and enthalpy of solution of $\mathrm{NaCl}$ are $788 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and $4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, respectively. The hydration enthalpy of $\mathrm{NaCl}$ is :

  1. $-780 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

  2. $780 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

  3. $-784 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

  4. $784 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$\Delta_{\text {sol. }} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=\Delta_{\text {lattice }} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}+\Delta_{\text {Hyd. }} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}$

$4=788+\Delta_{\text {Hyd. }} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}$

$\Delta_{\text {Hyd. }} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-784 \mathrm{kJmol}^{-1}$
