Chapter 9, Problem 9.11P

PRACTICE 9.11 When 25.0 mL of 1.0 M H₂SO₄ is added to 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH at 25.0 °C in a calorimeter, the temperature of the aqueous solution increases to 33.9 °C. Assuming that the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/(g • °C), that its density is 1.00 g/mL, and that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, calculate $\Delta H$ in kilojoules/mol H₂SO₄ for the reaction.

${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}\text{(aq)}+\text{2NaOH(aq)}\to {\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O(l)}+{\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}\text{(aq)}$
