A sample of 10.6 g of KNO3 was dissolved in 251.0 g of water at 25 oC in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the solution was 21.5 oC. What is the molar heat of solution of KNO3

Answer:

36.55kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat of solution is the change in heat when the KNO3 dissolves in water:

KNO3(aq) → K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

As the temperature decreases, the reaction is endothermic and the molar heat of solution is positive.

To solve the molar heat we need to find the moles of KNO3 dissolved and the change in heat as follows:

Moles KNO3 -Molar mass: 101.1032g/mol-

10.6g * (1mol/101.1032g) = 0.1048 moles KNO3

Change in heat:

q = m*S*ΔT

Where q is heat in J,

m is the mass of the solution: 10.6g + 251.0g = 261.6g

S is specififc heat of solution: 4.184J/g°C -Assuming is the same than pure water-

And ΔT is change in temperature: 25°C - 21.5°C = 3.5°C

q = 261.6g*4.184J/g°C*3.5°C

q = 3830.87J

Molar heat of solution:

3830.87J/0.1048 moles KNO3 =

36554J/mol =

36.55kJ/mol
