Question

Will an ionic compound be soluble in water if its' heat of solution, ΔH = +26.4 kJ/mol?


It might be soluble, but it depends upon the effect of entropy
No, it will not be soluble
Yes, it will be soluble
Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that, solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on lattice enthalpy.

Solubility is known as the property of a chemical substance that has the ability to dissolve the major amount of solute in the known quantity of solvent. On increasing the temperature, the solubility of the substance can be increased.
