2. b. When a solid dissolves in water heat evolved or absorbed, known as the heat of dissolution, can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. A general chemistry student finds that when 2.597g of anhydrous cobalt chloride (molar mass: 129.839 g/mol ) is dissolved in 125.00mL of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 24.50∘C to 27.75∘C. The calorimeter constant (the heat capacity of calorimeter) was determined, in a separate experiment, to be 1.70J/∘C. Assume that - the density of the solution is 1.02g/mL; the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water =4.18J/∘C.g Calculate the following: (i) Heat loss: (ii) Heat gain: (iii) enthalpy of dissolution of CoCl2 in kJ/mol.
