Question
Suppose that 4.65 grams of X (MW = 25.94)
are dissolved in 536 mL of water, and the
water temperature changes from 22.65°C to
23.57°C. Assume that the mass of X is
negligible compared to the mass of the
water. Assume the specific heat of water is
4.2 J/(g.°C) and the density of water is 1.0
g/mL.
Calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of X in
kJ/mol. Report your answer to three decimal
places.
