a)
What is the value of ∆H of the following chemical reaction?
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + 55.216 kJ
b) Use the above equation to calculate the amount (in moles) of the water produced if you know that the mass of the solution was 100 g, the temperature change was 3oC, and the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/oC.g.
c) 54.6 kJ of heat is released when 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH to produce 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H2O. Write a thermochemical equation for this reaction.
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + 55.216 kJ
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) H= - 55.216 kJ
b. q = mCT
= 100*4.184*30 = 12552J = 12.552KJ
from balanced equation
-55.216KJ enegy gives 1 moles of H2O
-12.552 KJ energy gives = 1*-12.552/-55.216 = 0.227moles of H2O
c. NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) H= - 54.6 kJ
