Explain hydration of energy
Accepted Answer
Hydration energy is the amount of energy released when one mole of gaseous ions forms one mole of hydrated ions in water. this is an exothermic process which can be written as: M+(g) + H2O(l) → M+(aq) + Heat where M+ represents a generic metal cation. The magnitude of the hydration energy depends on the size and charge of the ion.
