A chemist wants to determine the enthalpy of neutralization for the following reaction: HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
The chemist uses a coffee-cup calorimeter to neutralize completely 70.5 mL of 2.56 M HCl (aq) with 30.5 mL of 2.56 M NaOH (aq). The initial temperature of both solutions is 16.8ºC. After neutralization, the highest recorded temperature is 22.6ºC. Calculate the enthalpy of neutralization in kJ/mol of H2O.
Assume that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL and specific heat is 4.18 J/gºC
