When a chemical reaction is run in aqueous solution inside a calorimeter, the temperature change of the water (and Ccal) can be used to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Here, we will study the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide in the calorimeter from problem 3. Equal volumes (50.0 mL) of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide and 1.00 M hydrochloric acid are mixed.
HCl+NaOH→NaCl+H2O
What is the total change in enthalpy (in Joules) for the reaction?
Where initial temperature is 21.2 °C and final temperature is 28.0 °C. Ccal is 1234.28 j
