When 11.9 g of barium bromide (BaBr2) is dissolved in 107 g of water in a styrofoam calorimeter of negligible heat capacity, the temperature increases from 25.00 to 27.18 °C. Based on this observation, calculate q for the water and ΔH° for the process, assuming that the heat absorbed by the salt is negligible.BaBr2  (s) -------= Ba2+ (aq) + 2Br-(aq)
