Question

Calculate the final temperature of solution when 10 g of oxalic acid, (COOH)2(s), is dissolved in 110.0 mL of water that is initially at 26 C. The enthalpies of formation of oxalic acid in the solid and aqueous phases are -826.8 and -818.8 kJ/mol, respectively. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g*K. Ignore the heat capacity of oxalic acid.

Answer 1

This is done the same way as the NaCl problem posted earlier; however, in this case the DHsoln is a negative number which means you make q a + number.
