Detailed Solution
Pure NaCl is not deliquescent. CaCl2 and MgCl2 present as impurities in NaCl are responsible for deliquescence;∆Hsolution =∆Hhydration(exothermic)+∆Hlatticeenthalpy(endothermic) For Nacl dissolved in H2O ∆Hhydrationethalpy(-784 kJ)≈∆Hlatticeenthalpy(+788 kJ)∴∆Hsolution=+4 kJ =+1 k cal∆Hsolutionis almost negligible.(almost zero)∴solubility of NaCl in water almost remains constant with change in temperature
