In a coffee-cup calorimeter, $100.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of $1.0 M \mathrm{NaOH}$ and $100.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of $1.0 \mathrm{M}$ HCl are mixed. Both solutions were originally at $24.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. After the reaction, the final temperature is $31.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Assuming that all the solutions have a density of $1.0 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ and a specific heat capacity of $4.18 \mathrm{J} /^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \cdot \mathrm{g},$ calcu- late the enthalpy change for the neutralization of HCl by NaOH. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings or to the calorimeter.

Key Concepts

Neutralization Reaction

A neutralization reaction is an acid-base reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt, typically releasing heat in the process. Understanding the enthalpy change in such reactions helps quantify the energy dynamics involved in acid-base chemistry.

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is a property of a substance that indicates the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. This concept is fundamental in calorimetry for converting measured temperature changes into energy quantities.

Enthalpy Change

Enthalpy change (?H) is the measurement of heat absorbed or released during a reaction at constant pressure. It is a key concept in thermochemistry and is determined by correlating the heat transfer measured in a calorimetric experiment to the quantities of reactants involved.

Calorimetry

Calorimetry is the branch of thermodynamics that deals with measuring the heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical process. It involves the use of a calorimeter to quantify energy changes, which are then used to understand reaction energetics.

Coffee-Cup Calorimeter

A coffee-cup calorimeter is a simple type of calorimeter typically used for reactions in solution. It operates at constant pressure and is designed to minimize heat exchange with the surroundings, making it useful for determining the enthalpy changes of processes like neutralization reactions.
