A chemical reaction in which the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy is referred to as
A.
A reversible reaction
B.
A spontenous reaction
C.
An endothermic reaction
D.
An exothermic reaction
Correct answer is D
In salts for which the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy, solvation occurs with a release of energy in the form of heat. A reaction in which there is a release of energy as LIGHT OR HEAT is EXOTHERMIC.
