Self-heating cans may be used to warm drinks such as coffee. When the button on the can is pushed, a seal is broken, allowing water and calcium oxide to mix and react. The reaction produces solid calcium hydroxide and releases heat. If more water is used the calcium hydroxide is produced as a solution instead of as a solid. The equation for the reaction is:

          CaO (s) + H2O (ℓ) → Ca(OH)2 (aq) 


Use the following data to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ/mol, for the above reaction. 


Ca (s) + ½O2 (g) → CaO (s)                               ΔH = −635 kJ/mol

H2 (g) + ½O2 (g) → H2O (ℓ)                                ΔH = −286 kJ/mol

Ca (s) + O2 (g) + H2 (g) → Ca(OH)2 (s)               ΔH = −986 kJ/mol

Ca(OH)2 (s) → Ca(OH)2 (aq)                               ΔH = −82 kJ/mol


-147 kJ/mol
