Heat from the reaction is transferred to the solution and calorimeter, soqrxn= - qsoln- qcal (assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings). The sign on your answer should show whether heat is absorbed (+) or released (-).

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Determine the T of the solution surrounding Reaction 1 (C)
14.3652
Energy absorbed or released by the solution (J) = (total volume of the solution)*(density of the solution)*(sp. heat of solution)*T
(25.00 mL + 24.80 mL)*(1.03 g/mL)*(4.18 J/g.C)*(14.3562 C) = 3078.097 3078.10
Determine the energy absorbed by the calorimeter (J) = (heat capacity of calorimeter)*T
(37.256 J/C)*(14.3562 C) = 534.85
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the solution (J)
-(3078.10 + 534.85) = -3612.95
Enthalpy of reaction 1 = (energy absorbed/released by the solution)/(moles of limiting reactant) (J/mol)
Limiting reactant = HCl; moles of HCl used = (volume in L)*(concentration in mol/L) = (0.0248)*(2.0) = 0.0496 mol
Enthalpy of reaction = (-3612.95 J)/(0.0496 mol) = -72,841.73 J/mol = -72.84 kJ/mol

(25.15 mL + 24.75 mL)*(1.03 g/mL)*(4.18 J/g.C)*(1.8796 C) = 403.81 J
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the calorimeter (J)
(37.256 J/C)*(1.8796 C) = 70.03 J
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the reaction (J)
-(403.81 + 70.03) = -473.84
Enthalpy of reaction 2
Moles of limiting reactant (NH4Cl) = (0.02475 L)*(2.0 mol/L) = 0.0495 mol.
Enthalpy = -(473.84 J)/(0.0495 mol) = -9572.52 J/mol = -9.57 kJ/mol

15.3776
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the solution (J)
(24.90 + 25.10)*(1.03)*(4.18)*(15.3776) = 3310.336
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the calorimeter (J)
(37.256)*(15.3776) = 572.91
Determine the energy absorbed or released by the reaction (J)
-(3310.336 + 572.91) = -3883.246
Enthalpy of reaction 3 (J/mol)
Moles of limiting reactant (HCl) = (0.0249)*(2.0) = 0.0498
Enthalpy = (-3883.246/0.0498) = -77976.83 J/mol = -77.976 kJ/mol
7. Write reactions 1 and 2:
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) …..(R1)
NaOH (aq) + NH4Cl (aq) -------> NaCl (aq) + NH3 (g) + H2O (l) …..(R2)
(R1) – (R2) gives
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) – NaOH (aq) – NH4Cl (aq) ------> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) – NaCl (aq) – NH3 (g) – H2O (l)
Cancel out common terms and re-arrange to write
HCl (aq) + NH3 (aq) ------> NH4Cl
This is reaction 3. The enthalpy change can be calculated as
Enthalpy change (R3) = Enthalpy change (R1) – Enthalpy change (R2) = -72.84 kJ/mol – (-9.57 kJ/mol) = (-72.84 + 9.57) kJ/mol = -63.27 kJ/mol (ans).
