​
Citric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide according to the following chemical equation:
C6H8O7(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) --> Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3H2O(l) .
Various volumes of 1.0 mol L−1 citric acid solution were mixed with 8.0 mL of a sodium hydroxide solution of unknown concentration and sufficient deionised water added to make the total volume of the resulting solution 14.0 mL. The change in temperature of each solution was measured.
The data are given in the table.
​
​
​
​
​
By graphing the data in the table and performing relevant calculations, determine the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution.

​
100.00 mL of 2.00 mol L−1 HCl(aq) was initially at a temperature of 22.5°C. The mass of this solution was 103 g.
10.0 g of solid NaOH was added to the acid. The specific heat capacity of the resulting solution was 3.99 J g−1 K−1.
Assuming no energy loss to the environment, calculate the maximum temperature reached by the solution.
Use the following information in your calculations.

​
The molar enthalpies of neutralisation of three reactions are given.
​
Reaction 1:
HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) + KCl(aq) --> H2O(l) DH = –57.6 kJ mol−1
Reaction 2:
HNO3(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KNO3(aq) + H2O(l) DH = –57.6 kJ mol−1
Reaction 3:
HCN(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KCN(aq) + H2O(l) DH = –12.0 kJ mol−1
Explain why the first two reactions have the same enthalpy value but the third reaction has a different value.
