### Question 5

When 3.66 g of CaO (molar mass: 56.08 g/mol) is added to 50.0 g of water at 25.0 °C in a calorimeter, the temperature of the water increases to 32.3 °C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/g°C and that the calorimeter itself absorbs no heat, calculate ΔH in kJ/mol for the reaction below. Enter the answer to 3 significant figures.

\[ \text{CaO(s) + H}_2\text{O(l) → Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \]

#### Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem that requires calculating the heat change (ΔH) for the reaction given the specific conditions. It involves determining the amount of heat absorbed by the solution and then converting that into ΔH for the reaction on a molar basis. 

1. Calculate the heat absorbed by the water using \( q = mc\Delta T \).
   - \( m \) = mass of the water solution (including CaO),
   - \( c \) = specific heat,
   - \( \Delta T \) = change in temperature.

2. Convert the heat absorbed into kJ/mol, using the given molar mass of CaO.

This involves both theoretical understanding and mathematical calculation steps.
