What is Heat of Hydration?

A heat of hydration is a measure of the energy absorbed when one mole of a substance is hydrated. It is an important concept in chemistry, particularly in the study of solutions and solvation processes.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Using the formula:

\[ H_{hyd} = 100 - 50 = 50 \text{ kJ/mol} \]

Example 2:

Using the formula:

\[ H_{hyd} = 200 - 80 = 120 \text{ kJ/mol} \]
