Nitric acid,which is among the top 15 chemicals produced in the United States,was first prepared over 1200 years ago by heating naturally occurring sodium nitrate (called saltpeter)with sulfuric acid and collecting the vapors produced.Calculate Δ\Deltarxn for this reaction. Δ\Deltaf [NaNO3(s)] = -467.8 kJ/mol; Δ\Deltaf [NaHSO4(s)] = -1125.5 kJ/mol; Δ\Deltaf [H2SO4(l)= -814.0 kJ/mol; Δ\Deltaf [HNO3(g)] = -135.1 kJ/mol NaNO3(s)+ H2SO4(l) \to NaHSO4(s)+ HNO3(g)

A common laboratory reaction is the neutralization of an acid with a base.When 50.0 mL of 0.500 M HCl at 25.0°C is added to 50.0 mL of 0.500 M NaOH at 25.0°C in a coffee cup calorimeter,the temperature of the mixture rises to 28.2°C.What is the heat of reaction per mole of acid? Assume the mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/(g·K)and that the densities of the reactant solutions are both 1.00 g/mL.
