On the basis of concept of lattice enegy and hydration energy explain the fact that NaCI is soluble in water but not in banzene. |
| Answer» In aqueous solution, the magnitude of hydration energy (energy released) for sodium shoride is more than that of lattice energy (energy required). Therefore, the salt is soluble in water. In benzen solvent which is of non-polar nature reverse happens. Therefore, salt does not dissolve in benzene. | |
