Answer:
The total mass of the solution = 99.7 g
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:
<em>A "coffee-cup" calorimetry experiment is run for the dissolution of 2.5 g of lithium nitrate placed into 97.2 mL of water. The temperature of the solution is initially at 23.5oC. After the reaction takes place, the temperature of the solution is 28.3 oC. </em>
<em>1. Using a density of 1.0 g/mL for the water added and adding in the mass of the lithium nitrate, what is the total mass of the solution and solid?</em>
Explanation:
mass = density * volume
density of water = 1.0 g/mL; volume of water = 97.2 mL
mass of water = 1.0 g/L * 97.2 mL
mass of water = 97.2 g
mass of lithium nitrate = 2.5 g
A solution is made by dissolving a solute (usually solid) in a solvent (usually a liquid). The solute in this reaction is lithium nitrate and the solvent is water.
Total mass of solution = mass of water + mass of lithium nitrate
Total mass of solution = 97.2 g + 2.5 g = 99.7 g
Therefore, total mass of the solution = 99.7 g
