Answer:
Enthalpy of reaction - 1.42 kJ/mol
Explanation:
given data:
specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g degree celcius
mass of solution = 184 g
temperature difference [tex]\Delta T[/tex] = 24.70 - 21.0 = 3.7 Degree celcius
we know that quantity of heat is given as
[tex]q = mass\ of\ solution * specific\ heat *\Delta T[/tex]
q = 184*4.18*3.7
[tex]q =2845.74 J * \frac{1kJ}{1000j}[/tex]
q = 2.84 kJ
Enthalpy of reaction is given as
[tex]= \frac{2845.74}{2} = 1422.872 J[/tex]
= 1.42 kJ
FOR exothermic reaction = - 1.42 kJ/mol
