Dissolution of KOH, ΔHsoln:

KOH(s) → KOH(aq) (10.1)
Neutralization of solid KOH, ΔHneut:

KOH(s) + HCl(aq) → H2O(l) + KCl(aq) (10.2)

1) Using Hess's law, show how to combine Reaction 10.1 and Reaction 10.2 to give
KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H2O(l) + KCl(aq) (10.3)

2)How should ΔHsoln and ΔHneut be combined (mathematically) to give the change in enthalpy for Reaction 10.3, ΔH?

Using Hess's law we found:

1) By adding reaction 10.2 with the reverse of reaction 10.1 we get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)   ΔH  (10.3)

2) The ΔHsoln must be subtracted from ΔHneut to get the total change in enthalpy (ΔH).    

The reactions of dissolution (10.1) and neutralization (10.2) are:

KOH(s) → KOH(aq)   ΔHsoln    (10.1)

KOH(s) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)     ΔHneut     (10.2)

1) According to Hess's law, the total change in enthalpy of a reaction resulting from differents changes in various reactions can be calculated as the sum of all the enthalpies of all those reactions.      

Hence, to get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)    (10.3)

We need to add reaction 10.2 to the reverse of reaction 10.1

KOH(s) + HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) + KOH(s)

Canceling the KOH(s) from both sides, we get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq)    (10.3)

2) The change in enthalpy for reaction 10.3 can be calculated as the sum of the enthalpies ΔHsoln and ΔHneut:

[tex] \Delta H = \Delta H_{soln} + \Delta H_{neut} [/tex]

The enthalpy of reaction 10.1 (ΔHsoln) changed its sign when we reversed reaction 10.1, so:

[tex] \Delta H = \Delta H_{neut} - \Delta H_{soln} [/tex]

Therefore, the ΔHsoln must be subtracted from ΔHneut to get the total change in enthalpy ΔH.
