Question
A student dissolves 10.8 g of potassium hydroxide (KOH)in 250. g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temperature of the water rise
from 21.0 °C to 31.5 °C over the course of 6.3 minutes.
Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction:
коН(б) — к*(ад) + он (аg)
You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to 3
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.
O exothermic
Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?
O endothermic
O neither
