Solved: When a 6.50-g sample of solid sodium hydroxide
Chapter , Problem 5.55(choose chapter or problem)
When a 6.50-g sample of solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in 100.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (Figure 5.17), the temperature rises from 21.6 to 37.8 °C.
(a) Calculate the quantity of heat (in kJ) released in the reaction.
(b) Using your result from part (a), calculate \(\Delta H\) (in kJ/mol NaOH) for the solution process. Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of pure water.
