Question

When 25.0cm3 0.100moldm−3 NaOH(aq) is mixed with 25.0cm3 0.100moldm−3 HCl(aq) at the same temperature, a temperature rise, ∆T, is recorded. What is the expression, in kJ mol−1, for the enthalpy of neutralisation? (Assume the density of the mixture = 1.00 g cm−3 and its specific heat capacity=4.18kJkg−1K−1 =4.18Jg−1K−1)

A. \( - \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times \Delta T}}{{50.0 \times 0.100}}\)

B. \( - \frac{{25.0 \times 4.18 \times \Delta T}}{{25.0 \times 0.100}}\)

C. \( - \frac{{50.0 \times 4.18 \times \Delta T}}{{50.0 \times 0.100}}\)

D. \( - \frac{{50.0 \times 4.18 \times \Delta T}}{{25.0 \times 0.100}}\)
