Question
  1. The actual molar enthalpy of solution for calcium chloride is -81.3 kJ/mol, whereas the molar enthalpy of solution of ammonium chloride is 14.8 kJ/mol.

Calculate the average molar enthalpy of solution for each chemical based on your data, and then calculate the percentage error for each.

 

Percent error is (|Actual – Experimental|/Actual) * 100%

 

**Table of Data:**

- **Mass of CaCl₂ (grams):**
  - 5
  - 10.04
  - 15

- **ΔT for CaCl₂ (degrees):**
  - 6
  - 14
  - 19

- **Mass of NH₄Cl (grams):**
  - 5
  - 10.02
  - 15

- **ΔT for NH₄Cl (degrees):**
  - -4
  - -8
  - -11

**Graphs Explanation:**

**Chart #1:**

- **X-axis:** Mass of CaCl₂ (grams)
- **Y-axis:** ΔT for CaCl₂ (degrees)
- The graph shows a positive linear relationship between the mass of CaCl₂ and ΔT. 
- The line of best fit has the equation: 
  \[ y = 1.3008x - 0.0251 \]
- The coefficient of determination, \( R^2 = 0.9837 \), indicates a very strong correlation.

**Chart #2:**

- **X-axis:** Mass of NH₄Cl (grams)
- **Y-axis:** ΔT for NH₄Cl (degrees)
- The graph shows a negative linear relationship between the mass of NH₄Cl and ΔT. 
- The line of best fit has the equation:
  \[ y = -0.7001x - 0.6607 \]
- The coefficient of determination, \( R^2 = 0.9936 \), indicates a very strong correlation.

**Conclusion:**
The data indicates that as the mass of CaCl₂ increases, the temperature change (ΔT) increases, suggesting an exothermic reaction. Conversely, as the mass of NH₄Cl increases, the temperature change (ΔT) decreases, suggesting an endothermic reaction.
