The integral enthalpy of solution of one mole of H2SO4 in n mole of water is given by the equation ΔH = -75n/(n+1.8) kJ/mol. Determine ΔH for the following solutions:

Solution IV: Solution I + 5 moles of water. (Take ΔH as the enthalpy change on adding the 5 moles of water to Solution I.)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

For solution I, with n = 5 moles, the enthalpy is -55.15 kJ.

When 5 additional moles are added, the total number of moles becomes n = 10, and the enthalpy is -63.56 kJ.

The change in enthalpy upon dilution is calculated as the final enthalpy minus the initial enthalpy:

Δ H = -63.56 kJ - (-55.15 kJ) = -8.41 kJ

The correct answer is (d).
