Question

Ammonium nitrate is soluble in water. 16.50g of ammonium nitrate is added to an adiabatic calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water initially at 22.0C. The final temperature of the solution is 14.1C.

a) Assuming the heat capacity of the solution is 4.08 J/gC, calculate the molar enthalpy of solvation of ammonium nitrate.

b) Using the table of thermodynamic values at the back of your textbook, calculate the theoretical value of the molar enthalpy of solvation

c) Calculate the percent error for this experimntal result.

Explanation / Answer

Molar enthalpy of salvation=

? H= m cpdt

= 116.5*4.08*(14.1-22)

=-3738.91J

FROM TABLE WE GET THE VALUE

? H= -3681J

PERCENTAGE ERROR= (3738-3681)*100/ 3681J

=1.57%
