Question
A well insulated calorimeter containing 100 ml of water was calibrated by
dissolving a known amount of sodium chloride in the calorimeter.
The dissolution of sodium chloride in water can be represented by the
equation:
NaCl(s) + aq
Nat(aq) + Cl(aq)
AH+3.90 kJ mol-¹
The temperature of the calorimeter was initially 18.00 °C. A sample of 2.55 g of
sodium chloride was dissolved in the 100 mL and the temperature was
recorded as 16.30 °C.
The calibration factor of the calorimeter is
(express your answer to 2 decimal places)
0.42
kJ °C-1
