Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction at 25 degrees C.
HCl(g) + NaOH(s) ---> NaCl(s) + H2O(l)
From standard table,
Hfo of
HCl(g) = -92.3 kJ/mol
NaOH(s) = -425.8 kJ/mol
NaCl(s)= -411.2 kJ/mol
H2O(l) = -285.8 kJ/mol
Now, Hrxno = moles *Hfo (products) - molesHfo (reactants)
Hrxno = (moles*Hfo (NaCl(s)) +(moles *Hfo (H2O(l))) -(moles *Hfo (HCl(g))) -(moles *Hfo (NaOH(s)))
Hrxno = -411.2 kJ/mol -285.8 kJmol + 92.3 kJ/mol + 425.8 kJ/mol = -178.9 kJ/mol
