Chapter 5: Q26E (page 270)
When 50.0g of 0.200M NaCl(aq) at 24.1ËšC is added to 100.0g of 0.100M AgNO3(aq) at 24.1ËšC in a calorimeter, the temperature rises to 25.2ËšC as AgCl(s) forms. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20J/gËšC, calculate the approximate amount of heat in joules produced.
Short Answer
The reaction produces approximately 693 J of heat.
