Question
Sodium acetate is used in many hot packs, which rely on the ability of
sodium acetate trihydrate (SAT) to become supercooled, and then
spontaneously crystallize via an exothermic process. A solution is
made from 50.0 grams of SAT dissolved in 50.0 g of water heated
above the melting point of SAT, and is slowly supercooled below room
temperature, to 16°C. Assume the specific heat capacity of SAT is
2.19 J/g •°C and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g•°C.
The molar enthalpy of fusion is 35.9 kJ/mol for SAT and its molar
mass is 136.08 g/mol. Upon crystallization, the temperature increases
from 16.0 °C to the melting point of SAT. What is the final temperature
of the SAT?
96.241 °C
