The schematic diagram of the solution process as the net sum of three steps in Figure 13.4

Question:

The schematic diagram of the solution process as the net sum of three steps in Figure 13.4 does not show the relative magnitudes of the three components because these will vary from case to case. For the dissolution of LiCl in water, (soIn = - 37 KJ/Mol. Which of the three enthalpy changes would you expect to be much more negative than the other two? Explain
