Question

explain why it is important to carry out Heat of neutralization experiment in a well-ventilated area?

Answer 1

Heat of nuetralization is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of acid one eqivalent of base undergo a nuetralization reaction to form water.and a salt. It is defined as the energy released with the formation of water.

Standard enthalpy of nuetralization for a strong acid and base is -55.8 kJ/mol

Well Ventilated area will ensure that the standard temperature (25⁰ C) and pressure (1 atm) which will help in reducing/eliminating the environmental error.
