When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of
dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.
In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 0.79 g of KOH(s) are
dissolved in 104.10 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 24.69
to 26.63 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter
constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.58 J/°C.
Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of KOH(s) in
kJ/mol.
