to check the solubility of a compound we look at the lattice and hydration energy. what is the method of knowing these energies? and how to deal with the exceptions regarding this?

dear   Tarun Saxena,

 

1)  lattice energy is proportional to hdrarton energy and inversly proportional to lattice energy.

if the lattice energy is high then ionisation will be less hence solubility will decrease and if hydration energy is more then it will ionise faster hence solubility will increase.
