A reaction is preformed in aqueous solution, and the temperature of the solution increases by 15.78 degrees celcius. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
If the reaction was preformed in 100.00mL of water, how many joules of heat were trasferred in the reaction? The specific head of water is 4.184J/g degrees celcius.
If the same reaction were preformed under indentical conditions EXCEPT that ethanol was used as the solvent instead of water, would you expect to see the same amount of temp. change? Why or why not? (Assume that the ethanol does not produce any competing reactions).
