Using a density of 1.0 g/mL for the water added and adding in the mass of the lithium nitrate, what is the total mass of the solution?

The total mass of the solution = 99.7 g

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

A "coffee-cup" calorimetry experiment is run for the dissolution of 2.5 g of lithium nitrate placed into 97.2 mL of water. The temperature of the solution is initially at 23.5oC. After the reaction takes place, the temperature of the solution is 28.3 oC.  

1. Using a density of 1.0 g/mL for the water added and adding in the mass of the lithium nitrate, what is the total mass of the solution and solid?

Explanation:

mass = density * volume

density of water = 1.0 g/mL; volume of water = 97.2 mL

mass of water = 1.0 g/L * 97.2 mL

mass of water = 97.2 g

mass of lithium nitrate = 2.5 g

A solution is made by dissolving a solute (usually solid) in a solvent (usually a liquid). The solute in this reaction is lithium nitrate and the solvent is water.

Total mass of solution = mass of water + mass of lithium nitrate

Total mass of solution = 97.2 g + 2.5 g = 99.7 g

Therefore, total mass of the solution = 99.7 g
