Question
A class was determining the concentration of aqueous sodium hydroxide by titrating it with hydrochloric acid, whilst monitoring the pH of the solution. The sodium hydroxide solution was added into a glass beaker from a measuring cylinder and the hydrochloric acid added using a burette. One group of students accidentally used a temperature probe rather than a pH probe. Their results are given below.
Volume of aqueous NaOH = 25.0 ± 0.5 cm3
Concentration of HCl = 1.00 ± 0.01 mol dm−3
Deduce why more heat was produced in mixture B than in mixture A.
Deduce why the temperature is higher in mixture C than in mixture D.
