When a 2.00 g sample of KCl is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.538 kJ/K, the temperature decreases by 0.300 K. Calculate the molar heat of solution of KCl.
Heat absorbed by water = heat capacity of calorimeter*t
= 1.538*0.3 = 0.4614 kj
no of moles of KCl = weight of KCl/Gram molar mass
= 2/74.6 = 0.0268 moles
molar heat of KCl solution = 0.4614/0.0268 =
17.21kj/mole
