When dissolves in water, the enthalpy change of solution, , is +3.9 kJ mol. The enthalpy change of hydration of is kJ mol and that of is kJ mol. The lattice energy of is kJ mol.
Describe, in words, an energy cycle that links to the lattice energy and the enthalpy changes of hydration of the two ions. In your description, define enthalpy change of solution and explain how the numerical values given are related in the cycle.
