Hydration enthalpy is the energy released when 1 mol of a substance is dissolved into a solution. It is always negative, as attraction bonds (e.g. dative, ion-dipole) are being formed.

Enthalpy is the heat content of a chemical system
The molar enthalpy of reaction (Hrxn) is the amount of heat transferred during a reaction. It is
reported in kilojoules per mole of reactant. A...
The enthalpy is the total kinetic and potential energy within a chemical system. A change in enthalpy is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the enthalpy of reactants.
Hydro = water
Hydration is about the water levels in someone/something.
Dehydrated = not enough water
Rehydrate = to take in more water to compensate for water loss
So in essance, hydration is...
Because this kind of reaction is usually not spontaneous. Heating maybe required to provide the required activation energy. Heating on the other hand would introduce heat change and thus a higher...
