A student measures out 100 ml of 1.00 M HCL and places it into a styrofoam cup. The temperature of the HCl is 22.3 degrees Celsius. She then adds 1.002 g or MgO to the cup. The temperature rises to 29.7 degrees Celsius.

1) Determine the enthalpy of the reaction. Assume that the density and the specific heat of the solution are the same as water.
