So, anyone a chemistry buff?

Cuz I fucking hate it. I have a lab that I have to do, and while it may seem like simple stuff to some, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I need some help. I have noooo idea how to find the molar enthalpy of a reaction. I have a formula: deltaH = Q, but thats about as far as I've got. Is anybody willing to help? I'll give the problem..

What is the molar enthalpy of neutralization for sodium hydroxide when 50 mL of aqueous 0.10 mol/L sodium hydroxide reacts with 25 mL of 0.10 mol/L sulfuric acid?

My booko says the molar enthalpy of neutralization for sodium hydroxide with sulfuric acid is -57 KJ/mol as a prediction, but I dunno how to get there... PS, other stuff that is known is the initial temperature of NaOH (22.9 degrees celcius) and the initial temperature of H2SO4 (22.5 degrees celcius) and the final temperature of the solution was 23.5 degrees celcius... So yeah.. any help WOULD BE APPRECIATED!! because I don't know at all.. sigh..

 

2+2=5 - I can work a bunsen burner..

 

Thanks, but I'd actually like help from someone who's intelligent with this stuff. Please.

 

This kid might have some insight...
but I doubt it.

This site apparently isn't as helpful as I once remembered it being.

 

Or as altruistic.

You might find that less and less people care about your homework.

 

hint: use dimensional analysis; put all your variables in fractions format, so that cross multiplication cancles out common units.

(i.e .17mol (58.06g/mol) mol would cancel out, giving you grams )

 

mmm thx

dimensional analysis is the key to figuring out your own problems, where math is involved. it's not synthesis (that's organic chem).

if you have any specific questions, feel free to pm me; I suppose I'm a resident chemist here, I work in a polymer synthesis lab (though not quite a hippie...just saw this thread, and I AM a chem buff)
