Sodium chloride is soluble in water but not in benzene because

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Hydration energy resolve during dissolution in the water while lattice energy gives the energy to break the crystal so
For a compound to be soluble, the solvation energy must be greater than the lattice energy. Since, NaCl is soluble in water but insoluble in benzene.

Δ H Solvation > Δ H Lattice energy in water

and

Δ H Solvation < Δ H Lattice energyin benzene
