1. 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 11.14 g of CsBr(s) are dissolved in 119.50 g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 22.60 to 19.51 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.61 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CsBr(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water. ΔHdissolution = kJ/mol
2. 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 11.83 g of CsCl(s) are dissolved in 115.50 g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 22.20 to 19.26 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.51 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CsCl(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water. ΔHdissolution = kJ/mol
