10.0 g of ammonium nitrate (?Hsoln = 25.7 kJ/mol, molar mass = 80.0 g/mol) dissolves in 100.0 g of water.

What is the change in temperature of the solution?

Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.2 J

Respuesta :

Answer:

The change in temperature = 7.65 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

10.0 grams of ammonium nitrate dissolves in 100.0 grams of water

Hsoln = 25.7 kJ/mol

Molar mass = 80.04 g/mol

Heat capacity of the solution = 4.2 J

Step 2: Calculate moles  ammonium nitrate

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles = 10.0 grams / 80.04 g/mol

Moles =0.125 moles

Step 3: Calculate q

q = 25.7 kJ/mol * 0.125 moles

q = 3.2125 kJ = 3212.5 J

Step 4: Calculate change in temperature

q = m*c*ΔT

3212.5 J = 100g *4.2 J * ΔT

ΔT= 7.65

The change in temperature = 7.65 °C

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80.0 g/mol

So, we will calculate the number of moles of ammonium nitrate as follows.

     No. of moles = [tex]\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{10.0 g}{80.0 g/mol}[/tex]

                            = 0.125 mol

Heat released due to solution of ammonium nitrate = [tex]\Delta H \times \text{no. of moles}[/tex]

                    = [tex]25.7 kJ/mol \times 0.125  mol[/tex]

                    = 3.2125 KJ

                    = 3212.5 J              (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, calculate the total mass of solution as follows.

   mass of solution(m) = (10.0 + 100.0 ) g

                                    = 110.0 g

Hence, heat released will be calculated as follows.

                 Q = [tex]m \times C \times \Delta T[/tex]

          3212.5 J = [tex]110.0 \times 4.2 J \times \Delta T[/tex]

           [tex]\Delta T = 6.95^{o}C[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the change in temperature of the solution is [tex]6.95^{o}C[/tex].
