The energy released when Na+(g) and Cl- (g) form NaCl(s) is 778. kJ/mol. Approximately 162. J is absorbed from the surroundings when 2.35 g of NaCl is completely dissolved in water. What is the enthalpy of hydration of NaCl?

-777.838

Explanation:

Given data,

Lattice energy (energy released to form NaCl )= 778 kJ/mol

Heat of solution = 162 Joules

                                 = 0.162 kJ (converted to kilojoules)

Substitute the values in the given formula,

Enthalpy of hydration = ΔHsolution – ΔHlattice energy

                            = 0.162 – 778

Therefore, Enthalpy of hydration = -777.838

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
