Detailed Solution

Second electron affinity of any element is positive and endothermic. Because repulsion forces between the uni negative ion and electron.

O(g)-+e-O(g)-2;EA2,H=+ve; endothermic .process

Note: Formation of NaCl from gaseous ions is an exothermic

Na(g)++Cl(g)-NaCl(s); Latticeenergy,U= 787 kJmol-1

Similarly, the hydration of MgCl2 is also an exothermic process.

MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(aq)+2HCl(aq);H=-ve

Cl(g)+e-Cl(g)-; E.A1,H=-ve: exothermic process
