Hello,
I am doing a lab currently where we are required to find the Molar Heat in kJ / mol of salt dissolved of the salt, NH4Cl
To start the experiment, I dissolved the salt into an amount of water (values below) and recorded temperature changes.
Mass of NH4Cl = .9 g
Mass of H2O = 23.5 g (mL of water as well)
Temperature initial of Water = 21°C
Temperature final of Solution = 19°C
Procedure: I placed the 23.5 mL of water in a styrofoam cup, took the temperature and then added the salt. I mixed the salt around and took the temperature again at it's lowest point. I know the specific heat of water is 4.186 J / g°C. I do not know the specific heat of NH4Cl.
I am unsure where to go from here. Do I find the specific heat of NH4Cl online and then solve for its temperature initial? Am I doing the experiment wrong or is there another experiment to find the Molar Heat of the Solution (defined to me as the amount of heat given or taken from the salt)? Thanks for the help.
