Solutions and Heats of Hydration

Enthalpy diagram for the dissolution process

Enthalpy diagram for the dissolution process

The enthalpy diagram showing exothermic solution formation. Notice that Hsolution is lower in energy than the starting solute/solvent enthalpies. An endothermic process, on the other hand, would show Hsolution as positive, and it would be higher in energy than the starting solute/solvent enthalpies.
