If the heat of dissolution of anhydrous respectively, then heat of hydration to form is
71.2
-71.2

Let's consider the following reaction:
The heat of dissolution of , which means that when 1 mole of dissolves in water, of heat is released.
The heat of dissolution of , which means that when 1 mole of dissolves in water, of heat is released.
Now, let's consider the hydration of . This can be represented as follows:
We can break this reaction into two steps:
1. Hydration of
2. Dissolution of in excess water:
The heat of hydration of can be calculated by subtracting the enthalpy change of the second step from the enthalpy change of the overall reaction:
where is the enthalpy change of the hydration step and is the enthalpy change of the dissolution step.
Since is formed,
