Question
Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin plastic divider. When the divider is broken, the ammonium nitrate dissolves according to the following endothermic reaction:

NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)


In order to measure the enthalpy change for this reaction, 1.35 gg of NH4NO3NH4NO3 is dissolved in enough water to make 20.5 mLmL of solution. The initial temperature is 24.5 ∘C∘C and the final temperature (after the solid dissolves) is 20.0 ∘C∘C.
 

 

Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kJkJ. (Use 1.0gmL−11.0gmL−1 as the density of the solution and 4.184Jg−1∘C−14.184Jg−1∘C−1 as the specific heat capacity.)
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
