Question
When a solid dissolves in water, the solution may become hotter or colder. The dissolution enthalpy (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee
cup calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 17.83 g Bacl, (s) is dissolved in 104.00 g water, the temperature of the solution
increases from 23.57 to 26.51 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.83 J/°C.
Based on the student's observation, calculate the dissolution enthalpy of BaCl2(s) in kJ/mol.
Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is equal to the specific heat capacity of water.
