Description

I am working through an experiment where 3.016g of NH4NO3(s) was dissolved in 50g of H2O in a coffee cup calorimeter. I determined the qrxn = 19.655 kJ/mol (qsoln + qcup). I am now asked to calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in moles using deltaHrxn = Sigma deltaHf(products) - Sigma deltaHf(reactants) and the deltaHf NH4NO3 is -495 kJ/mol. I am stuck here, blanking out on how to proceed

Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The qrxn u calculated is the enthalpy change or the heat lost when the solute dissolved .it is therefore the sigma delta H of the product.divide it by the mol weight 80 to get the delta H in kj/mol unit.


Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
