Options:
  • A $+572 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • B $+4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • C $-572 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • D $-4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $+4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta H_{\text {sol }}=\Delta H_{\text {lattice }}+\Delta H_{\text {hydration }}$
$=788+(-784)=4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
