Adding $5.44 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}(\mathrm{s})$ to $150.0 \mathrm{g}$ of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (with stirring to dissolve the salt) resulted in a decrease in temperature from $18.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $16.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the enthalpy change for dissolving $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}(\mathrm{s})$ in water, in $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$. Assume the solution (whose mass is $155.4 \mathrm{g}$ ) has a specific heat capacity of $4.2 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot \mathrm{K} \cdot$ (Cold packs take advantage of the fact that dissolving ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process.

Key Concepts

Endothermic Process

An endothermic process is one in which a system absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in the surrounding temperature. Understanding endothermic reactions is crucial for explaining phenomena such as the cooling effect observed during certain dissolution processes.

Enthalpy Change

Enthalpy change is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the heat absorbed or released by a system at constant pressure. It is expressed in energy per amount of substance (e.g., kJ/mol) and provides insight into the energy efficiency of chemical processes and reactions.

Molar Enthalpy Calculation

Molar enthalpy calculation involves determining the heat change per mole of reactant or substance. This calculation requires converting the measured energy change to a per-mole basis using the number of moles involved, allowing for standardized comparisons of energetic changes across different substances and reactions.

Calorimetry

Calorimetry is the experimental technique used to measure the amount of heat exchanged during chemical reactions or physical processes. It involves monitoring temperature changes in a system, and it is key in determining enthalpy changes, especially under constant pressure conditions using a calorimeter such as a coffee-cup calorimeter.

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is a material-specific property that indicates the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is essential in linking observed temperature changes to the heat absorbed or released during a process.
