alright so this may or may not be due in an hour please help
Consider the dissolution of CaCl2.

CaCl2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq)      H = -81.5 kJ

A 13.2 g sample of CaCl2 is dissolved in 135 g of water, with both substances at 25.0°C. Calculate the final temperature of the solution assuming no heat lost to the surroundings and assuming the solution has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/°C·g.

can someone help me with the equation and the solution?

Ok first 13.2g/111g per mol for CaCl2 gives you .119 mol of CaCl2 in the reaction. Next, consider the delta H given for only .119 mol of CaCl2 dissolving. This gives you an actual delta heat for your reaction of -9.699 kJ. Finally plug your numbers into the formula H=mCT.  -9.699 kJ=142.8g*4.18*T <---Solve for T. Be careful, the enthalpy change is in kiloJoules.
