Answer:
1.97kJ of energy are released.
Explanation:
The dissolution of LiOH in water is:
LiOH(s) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ΔH = -23.6kJ
That means, when 1 mole of LiOH is dissolved, there are released (Because of the - in the enthalpy) 23.6kJ
2.0 g of LiOH (Molar mass: 23.95g/mol) are:
2.0g LiOH × (1 mol / 23.95g) =0.0835 moles of LiOH.
As 1 mole of LiOH release 23.6kJ, 0.0835moles release:
0.0835moles × (-23.6kJ / 1mole) = 1.97kJ of energy are released
