71.
10.1 g CaO is dropped into a styrofoam coffee cup containing 157 g H2O at 18.0C.
If the following reaction occurs, what temperature will the water reach, assuming that the cup is a perfect insulator and that
the cup absorbs only a negligible amount of heat? (The specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g· C)
CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s) Hrxn = –64.8 kJ/mol
72. The enthalpy change when a strong acid is neutralized by strong base is –56.1 kJ/mol. If
135 mL of 0.450 M HI at 23.15C is mixed with 145 mL of 0.500 M NaOH, also at 23.15C,
what is the maximum temperature reached by the resulting solution? (Assume that there is no
heat loss to the container, that the specific heat of the final solution is 4.18 J/g·C, and that the
density of the final solution is that of water.)
