Chemical cold packs contain ammonium nitrate (NH&NO3, molar mass-80.06g/mol). When "snapped" the ammonium nitrate
dissolves in the water in an endothermic process where it dissociates into NH and NOa.
A student measures this process in a coffee cup calorimeter. They dissolve 3.00 g of ammonium nitrate into a 55.0 ml solution
in a coffee cup calorimeter. All of the ammonium nitrate reacts lowering the temperature of the solution from 25.3°C to 12.0°C
What is the AHrxn? (Assume the final solution density is 1.00 g/ml and its heat capacity is the same as water)
Report your reactions to 3 sig figs in kJ/mol.
Reminder/Hints:
Don't forget the ammonium nitrate in your mass calculation.
Make sure your sign is correct. Remember you are calculating the heat of Reaction, not of the water.
