Explanation / Answer

(a)

Number of moles of HCl = 0.90 * 90.00 / 1000 = 0.081 mol

(b)

Number of moles of NaOH = 1.00 * 110.00 / 1000 = 0.11 mol

(c)

Total volume of the solution = 90.00 + 110.00 = 200.00 mL

(d)

Mass of solution = density * volume = 1.00 * 200.00 = 200.00 g.

(e)

Heat absorbed by solution = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

qsol = 200.00 * 4.184 * 9.5 = 7949.6 J

(f)

qcal = 10.6 * 9.5 = 100.7 J

(g)

qrxn = qsol + qcal = 7949.6 + 100.7 = 8050.3 J

(h)

According to the balanced equation,

HCl is limiting reagent.

deltaHrxn = qrxn / n = 8050.3 / 0.081 = 99386 J /mol

deltaHrxn = 99.4 kJ/mol
