Is heat of hydration and hydration energy same
Answers
Yes. The heat of hydration is also known as hydration energy.
The heat of hydration / the enthalpy of hydration:
The amount of energy generated when one mole of ions undergo hydration.
Hydration Energy or hydration enthalpy:
The amount of energy released when one mole of ions undergoes hydration. Their values are always negative.
If the solvent is water, then the heat of hydration can also be taken as enthalpy of solvation.
In the periodic table, hydration enthalpies (hydration energy) values fall as you go down.
If the ion is more charged the attractions are stronger.
Thus we can say that the heat of hydration and hydration energy is the same.
