Question

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this list of thermodynamic properties.HCl(g)+NaOH(s)⟶NaCl(s)+H2O(l)

Answer 1

Answer:

-179.06 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction.

HCl(g) + NaOH(s) ⟶ NaCl(s) + H₂O(l)

We can calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔH°r) using the following expression.

ΔH°r = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaCl(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(l)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(HCl(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(NaOH(s))

ΔH°r = 1 mol × (-411.15 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-285.83 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-92.31 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-425.61 kJ/mol)

ΔH°r = -179.06 kJ
