### Problem Statement:

**Question 21:**

25.00 mL of 0.200 M sulfuric acid was added to 25.00 mL of 0.200 M NaOH, in a constant volume calorimeter. The density of the resulting solution is 1.225 g/mL and its specific heat is 5.321 J/g·°C. As the reaction took place, the temperature of the solution rose from 22.0 °C to 31.3 °C. What is ΔH (in units of kJ/mol) for the reaction, per mole of water formed? This is a limiting reactant problem, and your choice of limiting reactant must be justified through stoichiometric calculations.

**Explanation:**

In this problem, you are provided with the following data:
- Volume of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) = 25.00 mL
- Molarity of H₂SO₄ = 0.200 M
- Volume of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) = 25.00 mL
- Molarity of NaOH = 0.200 M
- Density of the resulting solution = 1.225 g/mL
- Specific heat of the solution = 5.321 J/g·°C
- Initial temperature = 22.0 °C
- Final temperature = 31.3 °C

The task is to determine the enthalpy change (ΔH) of the reaction per mole of water produced. This involves performing a stoichiometric calculation to identify the limiting reactant and using the calorimetric data to calculate the enthalpy change.
