Procedure/Obseryations A student studied the enthalpy of neutralization of \( \mathrm{HNO}_{2} \) and \( \mathrm{NaOH} \) by reacting \( 50.0 \mathrm{~mL} \) of \( 2.00 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HClO}_{4} \) with \( 50.0 \mathrm{~mL} \) of \( 2.00 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH} \) in a calorimeter. He measured the temperature versus time for 15 minutes. The first \( 4.5 \) minutes show the temperature of the acid and base before mixing. The solutions were mixed at the 5 minute mark and the temperature of the resulting salt solution measured for 10 minutes to give the following data. Calculate the \% error between the two results. 2 marks \( \% \) Error \( =( \) Exptl Value \( - \) True Value \( ) \times 100 \% \) divided by True Value \( \% \) Error can be \( + \) or \( - \) depending whether the experimental value is greater or less than the true value.

Enthalpy of Neutralization ( ∆H) (Average Heat Evolved in kJ/ Moles Water Formed)
A 100.0 mL sample of $1.0 \mathrm{MNaOH}$ is mixed with $50.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of $1.0 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ in a large Styrofoam coffee cup; a thermometer is mounted in the lid of the cup to measure the temperature of the contents. The temperature of each solution before mixing is $22.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ After mixing, their temperature reaches $31.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ Assume that (1) the density of the mixed solutions is $1.00 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL},(2)$ the specific heat of the mixed solutions is $4.18 \mathrm{J} /\left(\mathrm{g} \cdot^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right),$ and (3) no heat is lost to the surroundings. a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that takes place in the cup. b. Is any $\mathrm{NaOH}$ or $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ left in the cup when the reaction is over? c. Calculate the enthalpy change per mole of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ produced in the reaction.
