Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction in which 50.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl is mixed with 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in a constant pressure calorimeter using the following data: the temperature of the HCl and NaOH solutions are both initially 25.0 °C, and the temperature of the mixture increases to 32.0 °C. The specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/(g·°C) and the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL. The reaction is: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Design a storage and transportation system for the safe handling of hydrochloric acid, a hazardous chemical commonly used in the chemical industry. Your system should include all the necessary equipment, materials, and procedures, and should be in compliance with regulatory standards for the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals. Additionally, address any potential risks or hazards associated with the storage and transportation of the chemical and explain how these risks will be mitigated.

Design a chemical reactor to produce 500 kg of ethylene oxide per hour from ethylene and oxygen gases. Assume the reaction occurs isothermally, and the reactor operates at 3 atm and 250°C. The conversion of ethylene to ethylene oxide is 90%, and the selectivity of ethylene oxide is 97%. You can use either a plug-flow reactor or a continuous stirred-tank reactor. Determine the volume and dimensions of the reactor, and also its cost, assuming a stainless steel construction.
