Question
A 5.0 g sample of an ionic compound (MW = 96.5 g/mol) is placed in 50.0 g of water at 25 °C and the solution is stirred. When the salt is completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 32.7 °C.(3pts)a. Is the heat of solution endothermic or exothermic?
Solution
The heat of solution is determined by the change in temperature of the water. In this case, the temperature of the water increased from 25 °C to 32.7 °C. This indicates that heat was released into the water, causing its temperature to rise. Therefore, the heat of solution is exothermic. An exothermic process is one in which heat is released.
