The enthalpy of reaction is -55 KJ/mol.
We must first write down the equation of the reaction;
2KOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) ------> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Then we compute the number of moles of H2SO4 = 23.6/1000 × 0.500 M = 0.012 moles
And the number of moles of KOH = 23.6/1000 × 1.00 M = 0.024 moles
From what we know in the reaction equation;
2 moles of KOH produces 2 moles of water
Therefore, 0.0026 moles of KOH produces 0.024 moles of water.
The total volume of solution is obtained by adding = 23.6 mL + 23.6 mL = 47.2 mL
Mass of water = density × volume = 1.00 g/mL × 47.2 mL =47.2 g
Using the formula;
ΔH = mcθ
Mass of solution (m) = 47.2 g
Specific heat capacity of solution (c) = 4.184 J/g·°C
Temperature difference(θ) = 30.17°C - 23.50°C = 6.67°C
Substituting values;
ΔH = -( 47.2 g × 4.184 J/g·°C × 6.67°C)/ 0.024 moles
ΔH = -(1.32 KJ/0.024 moles)
ΔH = -55 KJ/mol
