\(\ce{NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)}\)

\(n(\ce{NaHCO3}) = \dfrac{14.7}{84.008} = 0.0175\ \text{mol}\)

\(n(\ce{HCl}) = 1.5 \times 0.120 = 0.180\ \text{mol}\)
 

\(\ce{HCl}\) and \(\ce{NaHCO3}\) react in a \(1:1\) ratio  \(\Rightarrow\)  \(\ce{NaHCO3}\) is the limiting reagent.

100.00 mL of 2.00 mol L¯1 \( \ce{HCl(aq)} \) was initially at a temperature of 22.5°C. The mass of this solution was 103 g.

10.0 g of solid `text{NaOH}` was added to the acid. The specific heat capacity of the resulting solution was 3.99 J g ¯1 K ¯1.

Assuming no energy loss to the environment, calculate the maximum temperature reached by the solution.   (5 marks)

Citric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide according to the following chemical equation:

\( \ce{C6H8O7(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) -> Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3H2O(l)} \)

Various volumes of 1.0 mol L¯1 citric acid solution were mixed with 8.0 mL of a sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration and sufficient deionised water added to make the total volume of the resulting solution 14.0 mL. The change in temperature of each solution was measured.

The data are given in the table.
 


 

By graphing the data in the table and performing relevant calculations, determine the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution.   (7 marks)

  • Reaction 1 and reaction 2 are both neutralisation reactions between strong acids and strong bases. These reactions completely ionise in solution when added to water.
  • Both reactions have the same net ionic equation:
  •   `text{H}^+ (aq) + text{OH}^-  (aq) →  text{H}_2 text{O} (l)`
  • Therefore, the enthalpy values obtained are the same for both reactions.
  • In reaction 3, `text{HCN}` is a weak acid that only partially ionises in an equilibrium reaction with water.
  •   `text{HCN} (aq) + text{H}_2 text{O} (l)  ⇋  text{CN}^-  (aq) + text{H}_3 text{O}^+ (aq).`
  • As the reaction continues, `text{HCN}` will further ionise as the equilibrium shifts to the right.
  • The bond-breaking is an endothermic process and thus will consume energy to break the bonds. As a result, the overall reaction is less exothermic than reaction 1 and reaction 2.
