Example - Endothermic Reaction
Problem: Determine the heat of solution of solid
potassium nitrate, KNO
3,
when dissolved in
water.
KNO

0.7180 gram
Distilled water

100.00 grams
Corrected temperature rise
∆T
C
= -0.508 °C (from Figure 3)
T(0.63R) = 25.400 °C
Energy equivalent
e = 121.46 cal/°C
Energy evolved
Q =
(∆T
C
) (e)
= (-0.508) (121.46)
= -61.70 calories
Enthalpy change
=
=
= -34.99 cal/g @ 24.885 °C
Or, multiplying by the molecular weight of KNO3
= (85.94) (101.10)
= 8.69 Kcal/mole @ 25.400 °C
