A 1.0-g sample of MgCl2 produced a 10.00C increase in a calorimeter charged with 40.0mL of deionized water. The specific heat is of MgCl2 is 0.750J/C*g. What is the value of delta(s)H for MgCl2?
I know that the formula needed is delta(s)H=-([massH2O*deltaTH20]+[mass(MgCl2)*C(MgCl2)*deltaT(MgCl2)])/ Moles of MgCl2
How do you find the deltaT for the water and MgCl2? What is the C representing? Thanks in advance!
