Question
When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of
dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 2.16 g of CaBr₂(s) are
dissolved in 116.80 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 22.79
to 25.10 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter
constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.84 J/°C.
Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CaBr₂(s) in
kJ/mol.
Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water.
