Question

Write out a detailed procedure for determining the enthalpy of reaction between citric acid and sodium hydroxide. Note that the neutralization reaction is: H3Cit + 3NaOH --> Na3Cit + 3H20. Be sure to calculate what volume of each 0.50M solution should be mixed to give a total volume of 50.0mL and the reactants in the correct stoichiometry.

Explanation / Answer

H3Cit + 3 NaOH -> Na3Cit + 3 H2O. heat = mass water x specific heat water x deltaT v1 + v2 = 50ml one mole of H3Cit react with 3 moles of NaOH ? v2 should be three times of v1 => 4v1 = 50 => v1 = 12.5 ml v2 = 37.5
