Problem

The enthalpy of dissolution of LiCl(s) is −37.0 kJ mol−1-37.0\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mol}^{-1}. If 2.00 g2.00\,\text{g} of LiCl (molar mass 42.39 g mol−142.39\,\text{g}\,\text{mol}^{-1}) is dissolved in 200.0 g200.0\,\text{g} of water initially at 20.0 ∘C20.0\,^\circ\text{C} in an insulating container, assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J g−1 ∘C−14.18\,\text{J}\,\text{g}^{-1}\,^\circ\text{C}^{-1} and that the calorimeter absorbs no heat. Calculate the final temperature of the solution.
