Question

A student dissolves 12.4g of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in 200.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. She then observes the temperature of the water fall from 21.0°C to 16.9°C over the course of 7 minutes.

NH4NO3(s) → NH+4(aq) + NO−3(aq)

You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to 2 significant digits.

Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction.

1. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?

2.If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case.
= kJ
3.Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of NH4NO3.
= kJ/mol
