Chapter 13, Problem 13.40P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\Delta H_{\text{solution}}$ for ${\text{AgNO}}_3$ solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The enthalpy change of solution is the enthalpy change when one mole of the ionic species is dissolved in water to give a solution of infinite dilution. It is represented by $\Delta {\text{H}}_{solution}$. It can either be positive or negative.

The formula to calculate the enthalpy change of solution is given as follows:

$\Delta H_{\text{solution}}=\text{}\text{}\Delta H_{\text{lattice}}+\Delta H_{\text{hydration}}$ (1)
