Question:

Under the entry H2SO4, a reference source lists many values for the standard enthalpy of formation. For example, for pure H2SO4(l), ΔfH° =  -814.0 kJ/mol; for a solution with 1 mol H2O per mole of H2SO4, -841.8; with 10 mol H2O, -880.5; with 50 mol H2O, -886.8; with 100 mol H2O, -887.7; with 500 mol H2O, -890.5; with 1000 mol H2O, -892.3; with 10,000 mol H2O, -900.8; and with 100,000 mol H2O, -907.3.

(a) Explain why these values are not all the same.

(b) The value of ΔfH°[H2SO4(aq)] in an infinitely dilute solution is -909.3 kJ/mol. What data from this chapter can you cite to confirm this value? Explain.

(c) If 500.0 mL of 1.00 M H2SO4(aq) is prepared from pure H2SO4(l), what is the approximate change in temperature that should be observed? Assume that the H2SO4(l) and H2O(l) are at the same temperature initially and that the specific heat capacity of the H2SO4(aq) is about 4.2 J g-1 °C-1.
