Heat of Hydration (Hhydration) vs Lattice Energy. The hydration step in the second reaction is always exothermic (Hhydration < 0) as H2O molecules are attracted into the electrostatic field of the ion. ... The value of Hsolution is dependent upon the magnitudes of Hhydration and Hlattice energy of the solute.
