In dilute solution the heat of the reaction NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O is – 57.3kJ. Therefore the heat of the reaction 2NaOH + H2SO4 \(\to\) Na2SO4 + 2H2O is
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O \(\Delta\)H = -57.3kJHeat of reaction of 2NaOH + H2O4
NaSO4 + H2O is
= 57.3 x 2 = -114.6 kJ
