The lattice energy of solid NaCl is 180 kcal/mol. The dissolution of the solid in water in the form of ions is endothermic to the extent of 1 kcal/mol. If the hydration energies of Na + and Cl - are in the ratio 6 : 5, what is the enthalpy of hydration of Na + ion ?
Options
- A- 8.5 kcal mol -1
- B- 97.64 kcal mol -1
- C+ 82.6 kcal mol -1
- D+ 100 kcal mol -1
Correct answer
B. - 97.64 kcal mol -1
Step-by-step solution
Δ H solu = Δ H hydration + Δ H Lattice 1 = Δ H hydration + 1 8 0 Δ H hydration = - 1 7 9 kcal m - 1 Δ H hyd Na + + Δ H hyd cl - = -1 7 9 kcal m - 1 Δ H hyd Na + = - 1 7 9 × 6 1 1 = - 9 7 · 6 4 kcal m - 1
