In a constant pressure calorimeter, 199 mL of a 1.00 M alkaline earth metal (Me) chloride solution were added to 199 mL of a 1.00 M potassium sulphate solution. The total heat capacity of the calorimeter including all the contents was 1.75 kJ oC-1. The temperature in the calorimeter rose from 24.50oC to 28.42 oC.
Paying particular attention to sign and significant figures,
calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ, for the reaction:
Me2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) = MeSO4 (s).
Me is the alkaline earth metal in question.
If you wish to use scientific notation, use the "e" format - eg. 7.31e4 = 73100 & 1.90e-2 = 0.0190.
