In a coffee cup calorimeter, 1.60 g NH4NO3 was mixed with 75.0 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00* Celsius. After the dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents was 23.34 * Celcius. Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/g*C, and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the enthalpy of the solution for the dissolution of NH4NO3 in units of kJ/mol. Q

-26.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The dissolution of NH₄NO₃ is:

NH₄NO₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

To solve this question we need to find the heat released in the dissolution using the equation of coffee cup calorimeter:

Q = -m*S*ΔT

Where Q is heat,

m is the mass of solution = 1.60g + 75.0g = 76.6g

S is specific heat of the calorimeter (4.18J/g°C)

And ΔT is change in temperature (25°C - 23.34°C = 1.66°C)

The heat is:

Q = -76.6g*4.18J/g°C*1.66°C

Q = -531.5J = -0.5315kJ are released

The heat released per mole = Enthalpy for the dissolution is:

Moles NH₄NO₃:

1.60g * (1mol / 80.043g) = 0.0200mol

Enthalpy for the dissolution:

-0.5315kJ / 0.0200mol =

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
