Q24 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry

When 600 mL of 0.2M HNO3 is mixed with 400 mL of 0.1M NaOH solution in a flask, the rise in temperature of the flask is_____×10-2 °C
(Enthalpy of neutralisation =57 kJ mol-1 and Specific heat of water =4.2JK-1 g-1) (Neglect heat capacity of flask)

Correct answer: 54

Solution

Number of moles of given acid and base are

HNO3 = 6001000×0.2 M= 0.12 moles NaOH = 4001000×0.1 M = 0.04 moles

Now neutralisation reaction between them will be

HNO3    +  NaOH  →  NaNO3+H2O0.12 mole  0.04 mole0.08 mole   0 mole      0.04 mole

Heat relesed during this reaction will be 

ΔrH=0.04×57×103 J 

=2280 J

Now temperature increased can be calculated by

mSΔT=2280 J

⇒1000 mL×1gmmL×4.2×ΔT=2280

ΔT=22804.2×10-3

=542.86×10-3

ΔT=54.286×10-2  °C

Hence, the correct answer is 54.
