Divide the heat absorbed (in kJ) by the moles of potassium nitrate dissolved. This is the heat of solution, expressed in kJ/mol of solute. 4. Using the known value of the heat of solution of potassium nitrate (see first page of this lab) calculate the absolute error in your experimental result.

The heat of solution of potassium nitrate can be determined experimentally through calorimetry.
- Calorimetry is the study of heat transfer and energy changes during chemical reactions or physical processes.
- In this case, the heat of solution of potassium nitrate can be determined by measuring the heat transfer that occurs when a known mass of potassium nitrate is dissolved in a known volume of water at a constant temperature. The heat transfer can be measured using a calorimeter, which is an insulated container that can accurately measure small changes in temperature.
- To perform the experiment, the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter is recorded, and then a known mass of potassium nitrate is added to the water. The temperature change that occurs during the dissolution of the potassium nitrate is then measured and recorded.
- The heat of solution of potassium nitrate can then be calculated using the equation:
- q = mcΔT
- where q is the heat transfer, m is the mass of potassium nitrate, c is the heat capacity of the water, and ΔT is the change in temperature of the water.
- The heat of solution of potassium nitrate is an important physical property that can be used to predict and understand the behavior of aqueous solutions of this salt.
