The enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH is −57 kJ mol−1. The heat evolved at constant pressure (in kJ) when 0.5 mole of H2SO4 react with 0.75 mole of NaOH is equal to
57 × 34
H− + OH− → H2O + 57 kJ mol−1
nH+ = 2 × nH2SO4 = 2 × 0.5 = 1.0
nOH = nNaOH = 0.75
Heat evolved = 0.75 × 57 = 34 × 57 kJ
