A Drop in Water Temperature Is Observed When 0

question 18

Multiple Choice

A drop in water temperature is observed when 0.873 g of ammonium nitrate is added. The enthalpy change for this reaction is +0.280 kJ. Which of the statements is accurate?

• A) The ∆H°_soln for ammonium nitrate is +25.7 kJ/mol so this is an endothermic process where energy in the form of heat is absorbed from the surroundings.
• B) The ∆H°_soln for ammonium nitrate is -25.7 kJ/mol so this is an exothermic process where energy in the form of heat is released into the surroundings.
• C) The ∆H°_soln for ammonium nitrate is +25.7 kJ/mol so this is an endothermic process where energy in the form of heat is released into the surroundings.
