A student takes 0.05 moles of HCl and reacts it with 0.05 moles of sodium hydroxide in 100 g of water solution in a styrofoam cup calorimeter. The empty calorimeter has a heat capacity of 0J/degrees C, and the temperature changed from 21.0 degrees C to 27.5 degrees C.
HCl (aq) + NaOh (aq) ------> H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)
Only include the heat capacity of water, and neglect heat capacity and specific heat of the HCl and NaOH.
a.) Calculate the heat of the reaction for the sample (kJ)
b.) Calculate the heat of the above reaction in J/mol of HCl.
