Question
The dissolution of calcium chloride in water
CaCl2(s) → Ca²+(aq) + 2 Cl¯(aq)
is used in first-aid hot packs. In these packs, an inner
pouch containing the salt is broken, allowing the salt to
dissolve in the surrounding water.
(a) Calculate the standard enthalpy change AH° for this
reaction, using data from Appendix D.
(b) Suppose 20.0 g CaCl, is dissolved in 0.100L water at
20.0°C. Calculate the temperature reached by the solu-
tion, assuming it to be an ideal solution with a heat
capacity close to that of 100 g pure water (418 JK-!).
