Question

the electrovalent compound dissolves in a solvent if the value of solvation energy is higher than the lattice energy of the electrovalent compound.
hey smarty ,
please explain this statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electrovalent compound dissolves in the solvent if the value of the salvation energy is higher than the lattice energy of that compounds. These ions are surrounded by solvent molecules. This process is exothermic and is called salvation. The value of solvation energy depend on the relative size of the ions.
