Hydration energy (also hydration enthalpy) is the amount of energy released when one mole of ions undergo hydration which is a special case of solvation. It is a special case of dissolution energy, with the solvent being water.

Hydration energy is energy released when one mole of gaseous ion is completely hydrated.......and reducing character depend​ on ∆G and ∆G=sublimation energy+ionisation energy+hyration energy
