Solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on:
a.Lattice enthalpy , b. Hydration enthalphy
Both these factors oppose each other and the resultant of these determines the solubility of an ionic compound in water. If lattce enthalpy has greater value, the compound is less soluble.
In case hydration enthalpy has greater value, the compound is highly soluble in water. Compound is soluble in water if
A. Hydration enthalpy is greater than lattice enthalpy
B. Hydration enthalpy is less than lattice enthalpy
C. hydration enthalpy and lattice enthalpy are same
D. None of the above
