Question

When 400 mL of 0.2 M H2SO4 solution is mixed with 600 mL of 0.1 M NaOH solution, the increase in temperature of the final solution is …………… × 10–2 K.

[Use : H+(aq) + OH → H2O; ΔyH = –57.1 kJ mol–1

Specific heat of H2O = 4.18 J K–1 g–1

Density of H2O = 1.0 g cm–3

Assume no. change in volume of solution on mixing.]

Solution

                                    H2SO4 + 2NaOH Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Milimole                       80             60                LR is NaOH

Or                                H+       +     OH  H2O

Milimole                       160             60               –

                                    (160–60)     60               –

Heat released = 57.1 × 60 × 10–3 = 3.426

Total mass of solution = 1000 gram

Q = m.s.ΔT ⇒ 3426 = 1000 × 4.18 × ΔT

ΔT = 0.8196 = 81.96 × 10–2
