A chemical reaction in which the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy is referred to as
A reversible reaction
A spontenous reaction
An endothermic reaction
An exothermic reaction
Selitys
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.
