dStandard enthalpyheat of solution Hs
The standard enthalpy of solution Hsis defined as the energy change when one mole of a substance is dissolve in excess distilled water to form an infinite dilute solution An infinite dilute solution is one which is too dilute to be diluted further
Dissolving a solid involves two processes
i breaking the crystal of the solid into free ionscations and anionThis process is the opposite of the formation of the crystal itself The energy required to form one mole of a crystal structure from its gaseous ions is called Lattice energyheatenthalpy of lattice Hl Lattice energy heatenthalpy of lattice Hl is an endothermic process Hl
The table below shows some Hl in kJ for the process MXs M g X g
iisurrounding the free ions by polar water molecules This process is called hydration The energy produced when one mole of ions are completely hydrated is called hydration energy heatenthalpy of hydrationHhHydration energy enthalpy of hydrationHh is an exothermic processHh
The table below shows some Hh in kJ for some ions
The sum of the lattice energy Hl endothermic and hydration energy Hh exothermic gives the heat of solutionHs
Hs Hl Hh
Note
Since Hl is an endothermic process and Hh is an exothermic process then Hs is
iexothermic if Hl is less than Hh and hence a solid dissolve easily in water
iiendothermic if Hl is more than Hh and hence a solid does not dissolve easily in water

Hs Hh Hs 406 kJ 364 kJ 771 kJ 10 kJmole1
NaCl does not dissolve easily in water because overall Hs is endothermic
Solubility of NaCl therefore increases with increase in temperature
Increase in temperature increases the energy to break the crystal lattice of NaCl to free Na g Clg

MgCl2 s dissolve easily in water because overall Hs is exothermic

MgBr2 s dissolve easily in water because overall Hs is exothermic
Solubility of MgBr2s therefore decreases with increase in temperature
Practically the heat of solution can be determined from dissolving known amount massvolume of solute in known mass volume of watersolvent
From the temperature of solvent before and after dissolving the change in temperatureT during dissolution is determined
To determine the Hs ammonium nitrate
