Calorimetry (Section 5.5)

(a) When a 4.25-g sample of solid ammonium nitrate dissolves in  of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (Figure 5.17), the temperature drops from  to \(16.9\ ^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate \(\Delta H\) (in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\ \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\)) for the solution process:

     \(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(a q)\)

Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of pure water. (b) Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
