Question

How much did our sodium-in-water demonstration raise the temperature of water in the dessicator jar?  The reaction we performed was:

                  Na(s) + H2O(l)  
  NaOH(aq) + 1/2H2(g)                               qreaction = 
rHo = -184 kJ/mol-rxn

Assuming the dessicator jar is well insulated (like our coffee-cup calorimeter), the energy balance is:

                 0 = qsystem = qreaction + qwater  
  qreaction = -qwater

                 qreaction = -mwater*Cwater*
Twater

The data from the demonstration was:  (a) 1.0 kg water, (b) 22.0oC, (d) Cwater = 4.18 J/g-K, (e) mNa = 0.21 g

How many moles of sodium were added to the water (in moles)?
