When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 5.26 g of CsClO4(s) are dissolved in 103.30 g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 22.98 to 19.81 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.79 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CsClO4(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water.

A particular container holds 3.77 mol of neon gas. The volume of this container can be altered by sliding a piston in or out. The volume is changed from 8.60 L to 12.20 L while at the same time the temperature is changed from 303 K to 345 K. The molar heat capacity, Cym, for neon is 12.47 J/(mol · K). Assume that this value will not change over the given temperature range. What is the change in entropy for the gas? AS = J/K TOOLS x10 MacBook Pro
