Question 3
A quantity of 2.00102 mL of 0.862 M HCl is mixed with 2.00102 mL of 0.431 M Ba(OH)2
in a constant-pressure calorimeter of negligible heat capacity (Cp). The initial temperature
(Ti) of the HCl and Ba(OH)2 solutions is the same at 20.48 oC. For the process
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2O (l)
The heat of neutralization is -56.2 kJ mol-1. Write the balanced equation for the
neutralization of HCl and Ba(OH)2. What is the final temperature (Tf) of the mixed solution?
Given that:
Specific heat capacity of water (cp) = 4.184 J/gC
Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as the specific heat of water.
Hint and answer
