In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts

In this analysis, we determine the composition of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.15g of nickel(II) nitrate in 175mL of water (density 1.00 g/mL). The mass percent of nickel(II) nitrate is found to be approximately 6.50%, and the mole fraction of nickel(II) ions in the solution is calculated as 0.00672.
