500 mL of .45 M HCL is reacted with 250 mL of .90 M NaOH in a constant pressure calorimeter. the initial temperature of the solution is 21.75°C. The enthalpy of neutralization is -56.2 kJ/mol and the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*°C. What is the final temperature of the solution. So far I have: HCL+NaOH-->H2O+NaCl -.500L HCL*(.45molHCL/1L HCL)=.225mol HCL -.250L NaOH*(.90mol/1L)= .225 mol NaOH -Both are the same with no excess -(.225)(-56.2)= -12.645kJ -(-12645J)+4.18(250mL+500mL)+4.184ΔT=0 -4.18(750mL)+4.184ΔT=12645J Um, is this right so far??? Can anyone help, please?
