Volume (mL of 2.0 M (aq) used Initial temperature (°C) of the 2.0 M NaoHaq Volume (mL) of 2.0 M (aq) used Maximum temperature (°C) of the 2.0 M NH4Claq) 26.0 20.789 25.0 22.3054Explanation / Answer
Q = m c T
Q = quantity of heat in joules (J)
m = mass of the substance acting as the environment in
grams (g) = 26+25 = 51
c = specific heat capacity (4.19 for H2O) in J/(g oC)
T = change in temperature = Tfinal - Tinitial in oC = 22.3054 - 20.789 = 1.5164 oC
Using this equation let us find out Q
Q = 51 x 4.18 x 1.5164 = 323.266 Joules
323.266 Joules of heat released for 51 ml of 2 M solution
Hence enthalpy of reaction = 323.266 / 0.051 Lit x 2M = 3169.274 Joules
