Here is the full question

Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin plastic divider. When the divider is broken, the ammonium nitrate dissolves according to the following endothermic reaction: NH4NO3(s)→NH+4(aq)+NO−3(aq) In order to measure the enthalpy change for this reaction, 1.25 g of NH4NO3 is dissolved in enough water to make 25.0 mL of solution. The initial temperature is 25.8 ∘C and the final temperature (after the solid dissolves) is 21.9 ∘C. Part A Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kilojoules per mole. (Use 1.0g/mL as the density of the solution and 4.18J/g⋅∘C as the specific heat capacity.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. ΔHrxn =   ??? kJ/mol

Answer:

26 kJ / mol

Explanation:

Given that;

The mass of NH₄NO₃ = 1.25 g

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃ = Mass of NH₄NO₃ / Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃= 1.25 g / 80.043 g/mol

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃= 0.016 mol

Volume of solution = 25.0 mL

Density of Solution = 1.0g/mL

Since; [tex]density = \frac {mass} {volume}[/tex]

Mass of Solution = Density x Volume

= 1.0g/mL × 25.0mL

= 25 g

Heat Generated (Q)  = [tex]mc \delta T[/tex]

Q= 25g × 4.18 J/g°C x (25.8°C - 21.9°C)

Q =  407.55 J

Q = 407 × 10 ⁻³ kJ

Q = 0.40755 kJ

Δ [tex]H_{rxn}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Heat generated(Q)}{number of molesof NH_4NO_3}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac {0.40755 kJ}{ 0.016 mol}[/tex]

= 25.47 kJ/ mol

~ 26 kJ / mol

Therefore, the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kilojoules per mole = 26 kJ / mol

The change in enthalpy for the chemical reaction is equal to 26.125 kJ/mol.

Given the following data:

  • Density of solution = 1.0 g/mL
  • Specific heat capacity of solution = 4.18 J/g°C.
  • Mass of [tex]NH_4NO_3[/tex] = 1.25 g
  • Initial temperature = 25.8°C
  • Final temperature = 21.9°C

Scientific data:

The molar mass of [tex]NH_4NO_3[/tex] = 80.043 g/mol

To calculate the change in enthalpy for the chemical reaction:

First of all, we would determine the mass of the solution:

[tex]Mass\;of\;solution = density \times volume\\\\Mass\;of\;solution = 1.0 \times 25.0[/tex]

Mass of solution = 25 grams.

For the quantity of heat generated:

[tex]Q = mc\theta\\\\Q = 25 \times 4.18 \times (25.8 - 21.9)\\\\Q =25 \times 4.18 \times 3.9[/tex]

Q = 407.55 Joules.

Next, we would determine the number of moles of [tex]NH_4NO_3[/tex] used in the chemical reaction:

[tex]Number\;of\;moles = \frac{mass}{molar\;mass}\\\\Number\;of\;moles = \frac{1.25}{80.043}[/tex]

Number of moles = 0.0156 moles

Now, we can calculate the change in enthalpy for the chemical reaction:

[tex]\Delta H_{rxn} = \frac{Q}{n} \\\\\Delta H_{rxn} = \frac{407.55}{0.0156} \\\\\Delta H_{rxn} = 26125\;J/mol[/tex]

Note: In kJ/mol, we would divide by 1000.

[tex]\Delta H_{rxn} = \frac{26125}{1000} =26.125 \;kJ/mol[/tex]
