The exact values vary from source to source, but typical values are as follows:
(a) Enthalpy of solution: NaCl +5 kJ/mol; NaOH -43 kJ/mol
(b) Lattice enthalpy: NaCl +771 kJ/mol; NaOH +883 kJ/mol (this enthalpy ...
Solution Summary
Firstly we determine the enthalpy for the solution. The second and third steps are hydration of the anion and cation.
