Dissolving 3.0 g of CaCl2(s) in 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 22.4 o C causes the temperature to rise to 25.8 o C. What is the approximate amount of heat involved in the dissolution, assuming the specific heat of the resulting solution is 4.18 J/g o C? Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat involved Q = mcΔt where m is mass , c is specific heat of water and Δt is rise in temperature

= 150 x 4.18 x 25.8 J .

= 16176.6 J .

As the temperature rises , the reaction is exothermic.
