Question

A 100.0-mL sample of 1.00 M NaOH is mixed with 50.0 mL of 1.00 M H2SO4 in a large Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter fitted with a lid through which a thermometer passes.  The acid-base reaction is as follows:

                       2 NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(ℓ)

The temperature of each solution before mixing is 22.3 °C.  After mixing, the temperature of the solution mixture reaches a maximum temperature of 31.4 °C.  Assume the density of the solution mixture is 1.00 g/mL, its specific heat is 4.18 J/g⋅°C, and no heat is lost to the surroundings. Calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ, per mole of H2SO4 in the reaction.
