moles of copper ions that react is 0.0125
calculate the heat evolved in the reaction(assume the final vol. of the solution after the zinc is added is 50cm3 assume that the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18J k-1g and its density is 1.00g cm3)

This is what i managed to work out is any of this correct please assist me!!
 q=mc :delta:T      50.0X4.18X10.8 = 2257.2
                               2257.2/0.0125= 180576 joules per mole.

I now need to answer using these two calculations the molar enthalpy change for the reaction;
Zn+Cu2+----> Zn2++ Cu

Give your answer in KJ mol
and complete the expression  :delta:H=..KJmol


please help me as this is really confusing me! any help or advice would be much appreciated! :)
