A sample consisting of 0.025 mol of a solid compound is placed inside a metal cylinder. The cylinder was immersed in a water bath consisting of 10.00 kg of water at an original temperature of 25.00 °C. When the compound decomposes, the temperature of the water rises to 29.52 °C. Assume that the heat capacity of the cylinder is negligible. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(°C.g).
a. Calculate the heat evolved (in kJ) during the decomposition reaction, and from that determine the molar enthalpy change of the decomposition reaction.
