How does knowing the molar heat of solution of certain compounds help in the real world?
What is a real world situation in which knowing the molar heat of solution can be useful? If you can't answer that, what is a real world situation that may relate to molar heat of solution?

A “real world” example relating to molar heats of solution are Instant Cold packs, where you ‘activate’ the packet and the contents are allowed to react inside. Inside, a chemical (which can vary between companies / packs / …) is allowed to mix with water. As this chemical dissolves, it absorbs energy since it is (for this substance) an endothermic process. As it absorbs energy from its surroundings, it feels cold.
These things do have uses in the real world.
