When a 4.25 g sample of solid ammonium nitrate dissolves in 60.0 g of water in a coffee- cup calorimeter, the temperature drops from 22.0 to 16.9oC.

  1. Was the chemical reaction (dissolving the solid) endothermic or exothermic? How do you know?

  2. Write a balanced chemical equation for this process.

  3. Determine how many joules of heat were involved in changing the temperature of

    the water.

  4. If the heat that changed the temperature of the water was a result of the chemical

    reaction, determine the ΔH of the chemical reaction in kJ/mol of ammonium nitrate.
