Question
When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed.
The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a
coffee cup calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when
17.84 g of BaBr₂(s) are dissolved in 113.90 g of water, the
temperature of the solution increases from 25.12 to 27.76 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the
calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to
be 1.65 J/°C.
Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of
dissolution of BaBr₂(s) in kJ/mol.
Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific
heat of water.
