Chapter 12, Problem 9E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The lattice energy of silver nitrate is given to be $-8.20\times {10}^2\text{kJ}/\text{mol}$ and heat of solution is $+22.6\text{kJ}/\text{mol}$ . The heat of hydration for silver nitrate is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The heat of solution is calculated by the formula,

  $\Delta H_{\text{soln}}=\Delta H_{\text{solute}}+\Delta H_{\text{Hydration}}$

To determine: The heat of hydration for silver nitrate is to be calculated.
