Question

Which of the following salts shall cause more cooling when one mole of the salt is dissolved in the same amount of water? (Integral heat of solution at 298 K is given for each solute.)

Options

A.KNO3: ΔH = 35.4 kJ/mol
B.NaCl: ΔH = 5.35 kJ/mol
C.KOH: ΔH = −55.6 kJ/mol
D.HBr: ΔH = −83.3 kJ/mol

Solution

For more cooling, heating absorbed on dissolution should be high.
