Answer:
THE ENTHALPY CHANGE IN KJ/MOLE IS +114 KJ/MOLE.
Explanation:
Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature rise
Total volume = 100 + 50 = 150 mL
Total mass = density * volume
Total mass = 1 * 150 mL = 150 g
So therefore, the heat evolved during the reaction is:
Heat = 150 * 4.18 * ( 31.4 - 22.3)
Heat = 150 * 4.18 * 9.1
Heat = 5705.7 J
Equation for the reaction:
2 NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4 to produce 1 mole of Na2SO4 and 2 moles of water
50 mL of 1 M of H2SO4 contains
50 * 1 / 1000 mole of acid
= 0.05 mole of acid
The production of 1 mole of water evolved 5705.7 J of heat and hence the enthalpy changein kJ per mole will be:
0.05 mole of H2SO4 produces 5705.7 J of heat
1 mole of H2SO4 will produce 5705.7 / 0.05 J
= 114,114 J / mole
In kj/mole = 114 kJ/mole.
Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction in kJ /mole is +114 kJ/mole.
