Suppose you perform a calorimeter experiment to determine the molar heat of neutralization of an unknown acid, H A HA, with sodium hydroxide, N a O H NaOH. You mix 37.2 mL of 0.50 M H A HA with 56.8 mL of 0.75 M N a O H NaOH and calculate the heat of reaction as -1.6 kJ. What is the molar heat of neutralization (in kJ/mol) for the unknown acid

Respuesta :

Answer:

-86.02 kJ/ mole

Explanation:

The moles of the acid used = Molarity × Volume (L) =

= 0.50 (0.0372 L)

= 0.0186 moles

The heat released = -1.6 kJ

∴ 0.0186 moles neutralization of HA heat is: -1.6 kJ

The molar heat of neutralization due to one mole of the unknown acid = -1.6/0.0186

= -86.02 kJ/ mole

The molar heat of neutralization for the unknown acid is -86.02 kJ/ mole.

How to calculate Moles?

The moles of the acid used = Molarity × Volume (L) =

= 0.50 (0.0372 L)

= 0.0186 moles

Thus, the moles of the acid used is 0.0186.

The heat released = -1.6 kJ

Thus,  0.0186 moles neutralization of HA heat is: -1.6 kJ

Molar heat of Neutralization: It is the amount of heat each mole of base added to the acid (or vice versa) causes the reaction to give off.

The molar heat of neutralization due to one mole of the unknown acid = [tex]\frac{-1.6}{0.0186}=-86.02kJ/mole[/tex]

So, the molar heat of neutralization is -86.02kJ/mole.
