Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin plastic divider. When the divider is broken, the ammonium nitrate dissolves according to the following endothermic reaction: NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq) In order to measure the enthalpy change for this reaction, 1.35 gg of NH4NO3NH4NO3 is dissolved in enough water to make 20.5 mLmL of solution. The initial temperature is 24.5 ∘C∘C and the final temperature (after the solid dissolves) is 20.0 ∘C∘C.     Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kJkJ. (Use 1.0gmL−11.0gmL−1 as the density of the solution and 4.184Jg−1∘C−14.184Jg−1∘C−1 as the specific heat capacity.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Question
Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin plastic divider. When the divider is broken, the ammonium nitrate dissolves according to the following endothermic reaction:

NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)NH4NO3(s)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)


In order to measure the enthalpy change for this reaction, 1.35 gg of NH4NO3NH4NO3 is dissolved in enough water to make 20.5 mLmL of solution. The initial temperature is 24.5 ∘C∘C and the final temperature (after the solid dissolves) is 20.0 ∘C∘C.
 

 

Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kJkJ. (Use 1.0gmL−11.0gmL−1 as the density of the solution and 4.184Jg−1∘C−14.184Jg−1∘C−1 as the specific heat capacity.)
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
