When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 4.66g of NH4Br(s) are dissolved in 103.20g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 25.53 to 23.55C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.88JC.
Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of NH4Br(s) in kJmol.
Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water.
Hdissolution=kJmol
