Experiment Find the Enthalpy change of Dissolution

Starter What is the enthalpy change in Jmol -1 when 7g of sodium hydroxide is added to 150g of water. Initial temp of water 20 o C Final temp of water 35 o C Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 kJ kg -1 K - 1

Calculation Energy change of water = m.c.∆T Conservation of energy says that thermal energy lost = thermal energy gained. Therefore ∆H = m.c.∆T Determine the number of moles of sodium hydroxide ∆H mol -1 = ∆H / moles
