8.2 Heat of solutions
Heat of solutions relates to a process in which one mole of solute is dissolved in an infinitely large quantity of solvent.
Table 11
Heat of solution is the net energy required to break apart solute-solute (crystal lattice H positive) and solvent-solvent attraction or bonds and the energy released by the formation of new solute-solvent bond ( heat of hydration; H negative ). |
