if
A(aq) + B(aq) = AB(aq),
and the molarity of A in the solution is 0.60 M and the molarity of B in solution is 0.60M, calculate the enthalpy of the reaction, delta Hrxn, for the formation of 1 mole of AB solution.
stop cheating
To calculate the enthalpy of the reaction (ΔHrxn) for the formation of 1 mole of AB solution, you need to use the equation ΔHrxn = ΔHf (AB) - [ΔHf (A) + ΔHf (B)].
However, to use this equation, you need the enthalpies of formation for A (ΔHf (A)), B (ΔHf (B)), and AB (ΔHf (AB)). Without this information, you won't be able to directly calculate ΔHrxn.
The enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) is defined as the change in enthalpy when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states at a given temperature and pressure.
To determine the enthalpies of formation, you would typically look up the values in a reference source such as a database or textbook that provides thermodynamic data. These sources usually provide standard enthalpies of formation for various compounds.
Once you have the values for ΔHf (A), ΔHf (B), and ΔHf (AB), you can substitute them into the equation ΔHrxn = ΔHf (AB) - [ΔHf (A) + ΔHf (B)] and calculate the enthalpy of the reaction.
