Back to 5.3 Enthalpy

5.3 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

Explain how the heat measured in the reference differs from the enthalpy change for the exothermic reaction described by the following equation:
HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)⟶NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)\text{HCl} \left(a q\right) + \text{NaOH} \left(a q\right) \rightarrow \text{NaCl} \left(a q\right) + \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \left(l\right)
