The molar heat of solution of a substance is found to be +21.38 kJ/mol. The addition of 0.100 mol of this substance to 1.000L of water initially at 40.0 degrees celsius results in a temperature decrease. Assume the specific heat of the resulting solution to be equal to that of pure water. Find the final temperature of the solution (Also assume that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible).
