Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

$KF_{(s)} → K^{+}_{(g)} + F^{-}_{(g)}$ $ \Delta H^{\circ}_{lattice} = U$ is the lattice enthalpy during the breaking of ionic compound KF into its constituent ions in a gaseous state. When these gaseous ions are added to water it forms aqueous ions. The enthalpy change during this process is hydration enthalpy. $K^{+}_{(g)} + H_{2}O_{(l)} → K^{+}_{(aqu)}$ $ \Delta H_{hydr(K^{+})} $, is the hydration enthalpy of potassium ion. F^{-}_{(g)} + H_{2}O_{(l)} → F^{-}_{(aqu)} $ \Delta H_{hydr(F^{-})} $, is the hydration enthalpy of fluoride ion. The heat of solution of KF is the sum of lattice enthalpy and hydration enthalpies of two ions. $ \Delta H_{solution} = U + \Delta H_{hydr(K^{+})} +\Delta H_{hydr(F^{-})}$
