Question
When a solid dissolves in water, heat
may be evolved or absorbed. The heat
of dissolution (dissolving) can be
determined using a coffee cup
calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry
student finds that when 1.35 g of
CoCl₂(s) are dissolved in 103.40 g of
water, the temperature of the solution
increases from 25.18 to 27.15 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter
(sometimes referred to as the
calorimeter constant) was determined in
a separate experiment to be 1.67 J/°C.
Based on the student's observation,
calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of
CoCl₂(s) in kJ/mol.
Assume the specific heat of the solution
is equal to the specific heat of water.
AH dissolution=
kJ/mol
Thermometer
Cardboard or
Styrofoam lid
Nested
Styrofoam cups
Reaction
occurs in
solution.
