Answer:

3.213J/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

first specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/Kg K

Q=mass×temperature difference×specific heat capacity

Q=1.53×(24.3-20)×4200

Q=25.704 J

heat of solution= quantity of heat ÷ amount of substance

heat of solution= 25.704÷8

heat of solution= 3.213J/mol
