In Question 1 you carried out a neutralisation reaction involving sodium hydroxide. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H₂O(I) In Question 2 you are to determine the enthalpy of neutralisation, ∆H_neut, as shown by the equation above. You will use a solution of sodium hydroxide and the diprotic acid, sulfuric acid. FB 4 is approximately 2 mol dm-³ sodium hydroxide, NaOH. FB 5 is 1.00 mol dm-³ sulfuric acid, H2SO4.
