A chemistry student needs to calculate the heat of hydration for the reaction between anhydrous magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O) using the following data: the enthalpy change for the dissolution of anhydrous magnesium chloride in water is -63.3 kJ/mol, and the enthalpy change for the hydration of magnesium ions (Mg2+) and chloride ions (Cl-) is -192 kJ/mol and -131 kJ/mol, respectively. Calculate the overall heat of hydration (in kJ/mol) for the reaction: MgCl2(s) + 6H2O(l) → MgCl2.6H2O(s)
