To calculate the standard enthalpy change of solution for sodium hydroxide  NaOH  in water, we need to know the molar enthalpy of solution for NaOH. The molar enthalpy of solution for NaOH is -44.5 kJ/mol.First, we need to determine the number of moles of NaOH in 3.5 g. The molar mass of NaOH is 22.99 g/mol  Na  + 15.999 g/mol  O  + 1.007 g/mol  H  = 39.996 g/mol.Number of moles of NaOH =  mass of NaOH  /  molar mass of NaOH Number of moles of NaOH =  3.5 g  /  39.996 g/mol  = 0.0875 molNow, we can calculate the enthalpy change of solution using the molar enthalpy of solution and the number of moles of NaOH.Enthalpy change of solution =  molar enthalpy of solution    number of moles of NaOH Enthalpy change of solution =  -44.5 kJ/mol    0.0875 mol  = -3.89375 kJThe standard enthalpy change of solution for 3.5 g of sodium hydroxide in 50 mL of water at 25 C is approximately -3.89 kJ.
