Answer:
A) -74.9 kJ B) -304.5 kJ
Explanation:
Hess's Law says that the ΔH for one reaction is the sums of the ΔH of all the steps to that reaction.
A) As ΔH [H+] = 0, we can say that all the ΔH for the reaction
HCl(g) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Is from the fornation of the Cl- ions, so ΔH [Cl-] = -74.9 kJ
B)
HCl(g) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -74.9 kJ/mol
KOH(aq) --> K+(aq) + OH- (aq) ΔH = -229.6 kJ/mol
KOH(aq) + HCl(g) --> H2O(l) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -74.9 + (-229.6)
ΔH = -304,5 kJ/mol
The enthalpy of neutralization for 1 mole is -304,5 kJ
