Solution

The correct option is A 56 kJ
Since specific heat of solution is not given assuming dilute solution have the same specific heat capacity as does water.
q=mcsΔT=300×4.18×(1.96)=2.46 kJ
Volume of solution=100+200mL=300 mL
Weight of solution=300 g
This heat flow is used to calculate ΔH for 1 mole of the reaction
HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)
Moles of HCl reacted =0.1×0.44==0.044 mol
1 mol HCl yield 1 mole of H+
0.044 mol HCl yield 0.044 mole of H+
H+OHH2O(l)
Neutralization of 0.044 mole of H+ generates 2.46 kJ of heat.
The reaction is exothermic
ΔH=ve4.4×102 mole H+(aq)=2.46kJ1 mole H+(aq)=2.464.4×102=56kJΔHreaction=56 kJ
