Question 8 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Find the enthalpy of hydration for an iodide ion in the process RbI rightarrow Rb raised to the plus plus cap i raised to the negative power power Use triangle cap h sub sol is equal to negative triangle cap h sub lat plus triangle cap h sub hydr triangle cap h sub sol is equal to 31 point 0 kJ/mol triangle cap h sub lat is equal to negative 630 point 0 kJ/mol triangle cap h sub hydr Rb raised to the plus power is equal to negative 315 point 0 KJ/mol of Rb raised to the plus power is equal to negative 315 point 0 kJ/mol

Answer
A
negative 661 point 0 kJ/mol
B
negative 661 kJ/mol
C
negative 284 point 0 kJ/mol
D
negative 284 kJ/mol

Explanation

For dissolving RbI, reverse the lattice-formation step, so its contribution is −(−630.0) = +630.0 kJ/mol. The total is 31.0 = 630.0 + (−315.0) + ΔHhydr(I⁻), giving ΔHhydr(I⁻) = −284.0 kJ/mol. This matches choice C, −284.0 kJ/mol.
