Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ C.

The reaction: HCl(g)+NaOH(s)⟶NaCl(s)+H2O(l)


I tried answering this question multiple times, but the only answers I come up with are: -131.3 and 165.45. Both of those answers are incorrect. Where did I go wrong?


The answer is requested to be in kJ.

Yes, I did forget the table. My apologies. ∆Hf° kJ/mol HCL(g) = -92.3 ∆Gf° kJ/mol HCl(g) = -95.3 S° J/(mol·K) HCl (g) = 186.9 ∆Hf° kJ/mol NaOH(s) = –425.8 ∆Gf° kJ/mol NaOH(s) = –379.7 S° J/(mol·K) NaOH(s) = 64.4 ∆Hf° kJ/mol NaCL(s) = –411.2 ∆Gf° kJ/mol NaCL(s) = –384.1 S° J/(mol·K) NaCL(s) = 72.1 ∆Hf° kJ/mol H2O(l) = –285.8 ∆Gf° kJ/mol H2O(l) –237.1 S° J/(mol·K) H2O(l) = 70.0 Sorry again.

(-411.2 + -285.8) - (92.3 + 425.8) = -697 - (-518) = -179 kJ. It should be sum of products minus sum of reactants.
