Chapter 13, Problem 25QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enthalpy of hydration of ${\text{I}}^{-}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Dissolving ionic solids in liquids: On dissolving ionic solids in water, water molecules surround cations and anions are called hydration.

Hydration enthalpy: is defined asthe enthalpy change when new attractions form between ions and water-molecule dipoles. Energy always that require to separate the ions from crystal lattice, and energy always released when ions become hydrated because molecular dipoles attract the molecules to the ions.

The relation between the enthalpy of solution as follows,

${\Delta }_r{H}_{so\ln }=\text{ - lattice energy + }{\Delta }_r\text{H}\left(cationhydration\right)+{\Delta }_r\text{H}\left(anionhydration\right)$.
