Question: Explain whether using solid NaOH pellets rather than aqueous NaOH would alter the enthalpy. If different, would it be higher or lower

Question

My answer: Would the result be different since the aqueous NaOH would be able to quickly dissolve in water unlike solid NaOH which would take longer? Also, the enthalpy would then be lower for the solid pellets

Answer 1

Alter the enthalpy of what Everyone knows that dropping solid NaOH pellets into H2O is a HUGE exothermic reaction.
