Calculate the heat released when 0.5 moles of the nitric acid solution is mixed with 0.2 moles of potassium hydroxide solution.

Answer»

The heat of neutralization of strong acid and strong base is 57.0 KJ/mol. The rest released when 0.5 moles at the nitric acid solution mixed with 0.2 moles of potassium hydroxide solution.

HNO3 and KOH are strong acid and strong base respectively. 

0.2 mole KOH neutralized only 0.2 moles of HNO3 

0.3 mole HNOremain unreacted.

\(\because\) Heat of neutralization of strong acid and strong base is = 57.0 KJ/mol.

Heat released on neutralization of 0.2 mol HNO3 and 0.2 mol KOH = 57.0 KJ/mol x 0.2 mol

= 11.4 KJ

Hence, heat released = 11.4 KJ.
