When pure sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water, heat is evolved. In a laboratory experiment to measure the molar heat of solution of sodium hydroxide, the following procedure was followed. To a calorimeter containing 3.00 * 10^2 g of water at 20.00 °C, 10.65 g of NaOH, also at 20.00 °C was added. The temperature of the solution, which was monitored by a digital thermometer with negligible heat capacity, increased to 28.50 °C. If the specific heat of the mixture is 4.184 J g^-1 °C^-1, and the small heat capacity of the calorimeter is ignored, what is the heat evolved, per mole of sodium hydroxide?

    The temp. increase was 8.50 degrees C. (my b)

    It requires 4.184J to increase the temp. of a 1g solution by 1 degrees C.

    Total heat required is 16,143J.

    Molar Mass NaOH is 40g/mol

    Evolved heat/mol NaOH = 51,045J.
