0 1 .2 A student does an experiment to determine a value for the enthalpy of box
solution of potassium hydroxide.
The student uses this method.
Add some distilled water to a measuring cylinder and record
the volume.
Pour the water into a polystyrene cup.
Record the temperature of the water in the cup.
Add 3.00 g of solid KOH to the water in the cup.
Stir the solution and record the maximum temperature reached.
Table 1 shows the student’s results.
Table 1
Initial temperature / 18.1
°C
Final temperature / 30.4
°C
The student calculated the enthalpy of solution of potassium
hydroxide to be –51.3 kJ mol–1
The specific heat capacity of the solution, c = 4.18 J K–1 g–1
Assume the density of the solution = 1.00 g cm –3
Calculate the volume of water that the student added to the cup.
