Problem

When 3.00 g of KCl dissolves in 200.0 g of water contained in an insulated cup, the temperature of the water decreases from 25.00 °C to 21.75 °C. Assuming the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹ and the density is 1.00 g mL⁻¹, what is the molar enthalpy change, ΔH, for the dissolution of KCl(s)? (Molar mass of KCl = 74.55 g mol⁻¹) a) +6.76 kJ mol−1+6.76\ \text{kJ\ mol}^{-1} b) −67.6 kJ mol−1-67.6\ \text{kJ\ mol}^{-1} c) +67.6 kJ mol−1+67.6\ \text{kJ\ mol}^{-1} d) +33.8 kJ mol−1+33.8\ \text{kJ\ mol}^{-1}
