Question

(a) When a 4.25-g sample of solid ammonium nitrate dissolves
in 60.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (Figure
5.18), the temperature drops from 22.0 to 16.9 °C. Calculate
ΔH (in kJ/mol NH4NO3) for the solution process:
NH4NO3(s)-----> NH4+(aq) + NO3 -(aq)
Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same
as that of pure water. (b) Is this process endothermic or
exothermic?
