1. To 50.0 g of water at 25.00°C in a calorimeter was added 5.00 g of solid sodium nitrate, also at 25.00°C. The specific heat of the resultant solution was 4.20 J/g-°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 15.0 JC. The energy change for dissolving sodium nitrate in water is 20.5 kJ per mole of sodium nitrate. a. Write a chemical equation showing the dissolution of solid sodium nitrate in water. b. Is the dissolution of solid sodium nitrate in water endothermic, exothermic, neither, or cannot be determined? Justify your choice. c. After the solid sodium nitrate dissolved in water, what was the final solution temperature?
