The addition of 3. 15 g of ba(oh)2*8H2O to a solution of 1. 52 g of NH4SCN in 100 g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3. 1 C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4. 20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation:
