JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 7th April Evening Shift - No. 14)

The hydration energies of $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ are $-x$ and $-y$ kJ/mol respectively. If the lattice energy of KCl is $-z$ kJ/mol, then the heat of solution of KCl is :
$x + y + z$
$z - (x + y)$
$-z - (x + y)$
$x - y - z$

Explanation

$\mathrm{KCl}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \xrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{H} \text { sol. }} \mathrm{K}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}_{\text {(aq) }}^{-1}$
