Question

CaO(s) reacts with water to form Ca(OH)2(aq). If 6.50 g CaO is combined with 99.70 g H2O in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the resulting solution increases from 21.7 C to 43.1 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction per mole of CaO. Assume that the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J/gK.
A.-1.45 kJ/mol
B.-82.0 kJ/mol
C.-9.42 kJ/mol
D.-165 kJ/mol
E.-532 kJ/mol
