Hydrochloric acid and water vs sulfuric acid and water

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-03] [Hit: ]
meaning it dissociates two H+ ions. This reaction is exothermic, and increases in heat when the amount of H+ ions being dissolved increases.-The exothermic reaction is H++H2O-->H3O+.Concentrated H2SO4 is almost 100% pure, concentrated HCl is already mixed with water (13M) so the exothermic reaction took place back at the plant.......
When concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to water, much less heat is generated compared to sulfuric acid.
Why?

-
Hydrochloric acid is a monoprotic acid, meaning it dissociates only one H+ ion, where Sulfuric acid is diprotic, meaning it dissociates two H+ ions. This reaction is exothermic, and increases in heat when the amount of H+ ions being dissolved increases.

-
The exothermic reaction is H+ + H2O --> H3O+. Concentrated H2SO4 is almost 100% pure, concentrated HCl is already mixed with water (13M) so the exothermic reaction took place back at the plant.
