CSEC Chemistry · January 2011 · Paper 2 · Question 2(b)(i)

The students conducted a third experiment, Experiment III, to determine the heat of solution of ammonium nitrate by mixing 8 g of ammonium nitrate with 50 cm³ water at room temperature. The temperature before and after the ammonium nitrate was added to the water is given as: Initial temperature = 27°C Final Temperature = 19°C

State whether the process in Experiment III is exothermic or endothermic. The process is
