10.1 g CaO is dropped into a styrofoam coffee cup containing 157 g H2O at 18.0°C. If the following reaction occurs, then what temperature will the water reach, assuming that the cup is a perfect insulator and that the cup absorbs only a negligible amount of heat? [specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C]

CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca (OH) 2 (s) triangleH^0 (subcript rxn) = - 64.8 kJ/mol

a. 18.02°C b. 35.8°C c. 311°C d. 42.2°C e. 117°C

    We calculate the moles of CaO present:

    Moles = mass / Mr

    = 10.1 / 56

    = 0.18 mol

    1 mol of CaO releases 64.8 kJ of energy

    0.18 mol will release:

    64.8 x 0.18 = 11.664 kJ

    To calculate the change in temperature of water:

    Q = mCpΔT

    Cp = 4.18 J/g or 4.18 kJ/kg

    11.664 = 0.157 x 4.18 x (T₂ - 18)

    T₂ = 35.8 °C

    The answer is B.
