10.1 g CaO is dropped into a styrofoam coffee cup containing

10.1 g CaO is dropped into a styrofoam coffee cup containing 157 g H2O at 18.0°C. If the following reaction occurs, then what temperature will the water reach, assuming that the cup is a perfect insulator and that the cup absorbs only a negligible amount of heat? [specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g °C] CaO(s) + H₂O(l)→ Ca(OH)₂(s) = -64.8 kJ/mol A. 18.02°C B. 117°C C. 35.8°C D. 42.2°C E. 311°C
