Adding NH4NO3(s) to water lowers its temperature. How can this be explained?
A. The solvation energy is greater than the lattice energy.
B. The solvation energy is less than the lattice energy.
Answer: B
Howcome looking at it in the following way is wrong?
since delta H is positive, then products minus reactants is positive. Energy of products (solvation energy) is larger than energy of reactiavts (lattice energy)
