Question

When 150.0 mL of a 0.500 M citric acid (H3C6H5O7) solution reacts with 50.0 mL of a 3.00 M KOH solution in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of all components rises from 21.2°C to 28.7°C. Assume the density and heat capacity of the solutions are the same as that of water.

H3 C6 H5 O 7 (aq) + 3 KOH(aq) -> K3 C6 H5 O 7 (aq) + 3 H2 O(l)

1.Calculate ΔHrxn for  the reaction as it’s written. Make sure to account for the coefficient of the limiting reactant in determining ΔHrxn . The answer is: –1.3 x 102 kJ
