Andrea has been measuring the enthalpy change associated with reaction between HCl and NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. Andrea combined 51.48 mL of 1.00 M HCl and 34.62 mL of 1.00 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter (mass of the coffee cups + a stir bar = 15.00 g). If the initial temperature of the acid/base solution was 17.13 oC, and the final observed temperature was 27.95 oC, what is the enthalpy change of the neutralization reaction, in Kilojoules (KJ) per mole of NaOH? Assume that the density (d = 1.00 g/mL) and specific heat capacity of the solution are identical to that of pure water (4.184 J/g-K).
