When keeping the same volume of Ammonium nitrate, and changing the volume of water in the reaction of the two substances, what is the link between increasing and decreasing the volume of water in relation to the temperature of the solution once the reaction has taken place? (This will aid my hypothesis).


My understanding is that the larger the volume of water, the smaller the temperature drop in the solution from the original ammonium nitrate to the final solution. This is because, since ammonium nitrate is the limiting reactant in the reaction, once the water becomes in excess because all the ammonia and nitrate ions have separated, having more water just means there is leftover heat energy that will then warm back up the solution.


Answers before Wednesday if possible please :)


Thanks in Advance
