He then observes the temperature of the water rise from 22.0°C to 34.0°C over the course of 7.3 minutes. KOHs + K+aq -> OH−aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of KOH .arrow_forward

- Predict what will be observed in each experiment below. experiment A student has two unopened 33 cL cans containing carbonated water. Can A has been stored in the garage (32 °C) and can B has been stored in the fridge (8 °C). The student opens one can at the time, both cans make a fizz. A pair of 100 mL samples of water are taken from a well bored into a large underground salt (NaCl) deposit. Sample #1 is from the top of the well, and is initially at 32 °C. Sample #2 is from a depth of 50. m, and is initially at 42 °C. Both samples are allowed to come to room temperature (20. °C) and 1 atm pressure. An NaCl precipitate is seen to form in Sample #1. O predicted observation (choose one) Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B. Can B will make a louder and stronger fizz than can A. The fizz will be the same for both cans.
