The lattice energy for MX and NX (two ionic compounds) are -100 and -200 kJ/mol. When 1 g (each) of these two ionic compounds is added to water, both dissolve producing some heat/exothermic reaction. If the energy of solvation for M+ and N+ are the same, which salt solution will produce more heat? Answer choices MX Both should produce same amount of heat NX
