Calculating enthalpy change for two solution mixture
« on: February 11, 2014, 03:13:53 PM »
25.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm-3 HCl(aq) was mixed with 25.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm-3 NaOH(aq). The temperature increased from 22.5°C to 34.5°C. Find the enthalpy change of reaction for the following equation:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l).
 
how do you work out the energy change in this reaction ?
please show all the work out  , thank you

See:  Hess's Law.  Theres your hint….now lets see some work :)

HCL + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
(25+25) x 4.18 x 12 = 2508 J
25 Volume reacted
25 x2 / 1000 = 0.05 mol
2508/0.05=50.16KJ/mol
^H = -50.16KJ/mol
is this right ? thanks for the tip anyway  :D

Doesn't look bad, although you may want to take water produced to the total mass.

Some will consider it nitpicking, but it is almost a 2% difference.

Borek is correct.  Otherwise, you got it!

In Hess's Law, it states that the sum δH products-δH reactants = δH reaction
Is the δH of the products and reactants calculated from the δH of formation? or combustion?

(heats of formation of products) and subtract (heats of formation from reactants).  Thank you Mr. Hess…..may I have another?   :).  Heats of formation.
