Calculate the enthalpies of hydration for rubidium nitrate and cesium nitrate. The lattice enthalpies are –662.0 kJ/mol and –648.0 kJ/mol, respectively. The solution enthalpies are 36.48 kJ/mol and 40.00 kJ/mol, respectively. Which of the two cations will be more strongly hydrated in solution? Explain.
