Quicklime, CaO, is widely used in the building and steel industries. In the past, lime was difficult to transport because of its exothermic reaction with water, see thermochemical reaction below. Several ships caught on fire when water leaked in and reacted with the lime. CaO (s) + H₂O(l) →→ Ca(OH)2(aq) AH = 65.2 kJ/mol If 10.0 g of quicklime is added to a 500 mL sample of water, what would the final temperature of the solution be?
