Question

200 ml of 1M HCl is mixed with 400 ml of 0.5M NaOH. The temperature rise in the calorimeter was found to be 4.0oC. Water equivalent of calorimeter is 25g and the specific heat of the solution is 1 cal/mL/degree. If the theoritical heat of neutralization of a strong acid and strong base is 13.5 kcal, then the percentage error (as nearest integer) incurred in this experiment while calculating the heat of neutralization is

Solution

Total volume 200+400=600ml
200 ml of 1 M acid = 400 ml of 0.5 M NaOH
200 m. eq. of acid reacts with 200 m.eq. of base =ΔH
Heat of neutralization =5×ΔH
Heat produced during neutralization = heat taken up by calorimeter + solution
=m1s1ΔT+m2s2ΔT
=(25×1×4)+(600×1×4)=2500cal
Heat of neutralization =5×2500=12500cal=12.5kcal
% error =(13.512.513.5)×100=7.4
