Question

5.35g of solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl(s), was added to water to form 25.0g of solution. The maximum decrease in temperature was 14 K. What is the enthalpy change, in kJmol-1, for this reaction? (Molar mass of NH4Cl = 53.5gmol-1; the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 Jg-1K-1)

A. \(\Delta H =  + \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times \left( {14 + 273} \right)}}{{0.1 \times 1000}}\)

B. \(\Delta H =  - \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times 14}}{{0.1 \times 1000}}\)

C. \(\Delta H =  + \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times 14}}{{0.1 \times 1000}}\)

D. \(\Delta H =  + \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times 14}}{{1000}}\)
