Diluting sulfuric acid with water is highly exothermic: H2SO4(l) - H2O H2SO4(aq) 1 heat

Chapter 6, Problem 6.85

(choose chapter or problem)

Diluting sulfuric acid with water is highly exothermic: H2SO4(l) - H2O H2SO4(aq) 1 heat (a) Use Appendix B to find DH8rxn for diluting 1.00 mol of H2SO4(l) (d 5 1.83 g/mL) to 1 L of 1.00 M H2SO4(aq) (d 5 1.060 g/mL). (b) Suppose you carry out the dilution in a calorimeter. The initial T is 25.08C, and the specific heat capacity of the final solution is 3.50 J/g?K. What is the final T? (c) Use the ideas of density and heat capacity to explain why you should add acid to water rather than water to acid.
