In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 1.60 g of NH4NO3 was mixed with 75.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 25.008C. After dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents was 23.348C.

Required:
a. Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J 8C21 g21, and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the enthalpy of solution (DHsoln) for the dissolution of NH4NO3 in units of kJ/mol.
b. If the enthalpy of hydration for NH4NO3 is 2630. kJ/mol, calculate the lattice energy of NH4NO3.
