Question
Coffee-cup Calorimetry
The H for the solution process when solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water is 44.4 kJ/mol. When a 12.6g sample of NaOH dissolves in 250.0g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature increases from 23.0°C to ? °C. Assume that the solution has the same specific heat as liquid water: 4.18J/g°C.
The answer to this part is 35.7 and I understand and am able to get it. It is this second part to the problem that I do not know how to incorporate.
If there is additional info about the heat capacity of the calorimeter (58.3J/g°C) in the above question, how would you approach your answer
