1. Consider the following: HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (liq) ∆H = -57.62 kJ/mol If a 25.0 mL of 0.144 M HCl (aq) at 25oC is added to 20.0 mL of 0.132 M NaOH (aq) at 25oC, calculate the final temperature of the contents. Assume the volumes are additive and that the resulting salt water solution has a density of 1.04 g/mL with a specific heat capacity of 3.93 J/goC. Note that you will also need to determine the limiting reactant.

25.82°C

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of HCl and 1 mole of NaOH reacts, that means the reaction is 1:1. The moles of each compound are:

Moles HCl:

0.025L * (0.144mol/L) = 0.0036 moles HCl

Moles NaOH:

0.020L * (0.132mol/L) = 0.00264 moles NaOH

Thus, moles of reaction are 0.00264 moles

The heat released in a calorimeter is obtained using the equation:

Q = m*c*ΔT

Where Q is heat released in the reaction:

0.00264 moles * (-57.62kJ/mol) = 0.1521kJ = 152.1J of reaction

m is mass of the solution:

25.0mL + 20.0mL = 45mL * (1.04g/mL) = 46.8g

c is specific heat of the solution:

3.93J/gºC

And ΔT is change in temperature.

Solving for ΔT:

Q /mc = ΔT

151.2J / 46.8g*3.93J°C = 0.82°C = ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature.

Final temperature = 0.82°C + 25°C =

i think it's c. if you look search electronic symbol on google and then click on wiki it shows you a

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
