25 *(a) Define the term enthalpy change of neutralization. (2)(b) The enthalpy change of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), and sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq), can be determined by the following procedure. Procedure: x 50.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm3 hydrochloric acid is transferred to a polystyrene cup and its temperature recorded x x 50.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm3 sodium hydroxide solution is placed in another polystyrene cup and its temperature recorded The two solutions are mixed, with stirring, and the maximum temperature is recorded Results: Initial temperature of both the HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq) = 19.0 qC = 32.5 qC Maximum temperature reached after mixing Assumption: The specific heat capacity of all aqueous solutions is 4.18 J g1 qC1 The density of all aqueous solutions is 1.00 g cm3 *P42982A02124* 21 Turn over<br />
 (i) Calculate the heat energy released (in joules) on mixing the hydrochloric acid and the sodium hydroxide solutions. Use the expression energy released (J) = mass of solution4.18temperature change (ii) Calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid used in the experiment. (iii) Give the ionic equation, including state symbols, for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution. (iv) Use your answers to (b)(i), (ii) and (iii) to calculate the enthalpy change of neutralization for the above reaction. Include a sign and units in your answer. (2) (1) (1) (3) 22 *P42982A02224*<br />
 (v) Explain why the enthalpy change of neutralization for the reaction between dilute nitric acid, HNO3(aq), and potassium hydroxide solution, KOH(aq), is predicted to be the same as the enthalpy change of neutralization for the reaction carried out in part (b).
