In dilute solution the heat of the reaction NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O is - 57.3kJ. Therefore the heat of the reaction 2NaOH + H2SO4 \(\to\) Na2SO4 + 2H2O is
+ 28.65 kJ
- 28.65KJ
+ 57.3KJ
- 114.6 KJ
- 229.2 KJ

Explanation

NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O \(\Delta\)H = -57.3kJ

Heat of reaction of 2NaOH + H2O4

NaSO4 + H2O is

= 57.3 x 2 = -114.6 kJ
