Assuming that the density of the solution is equal to 1.00 g/mL and that the heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J/g·°C, calculate the heat of this reaction and the heat of reaction per mole of HCl.
50.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl mixed with 50.0 mL of 0.10 M
NH3
Specific heat=4.18 J/g·°C
Density of solution=1.00 g/mL
21.2°C®26.4°C
Calorimetry problem:
qrxn = –(mass

Calculate mass of solution:
Mass of solution =
volume of solution ×density
=(50.0 mL+50.0 mL)×1.00
g/mL
=100.0 g
Calculate heat of reaction:
qrxn
= (100.0 g)(4.18 J/g·°C)(26.4°C–21.2°C) = (100.0 g)(4.18 J/g·°C)(5.2°C)
=–2200 J = –2.2 kJ
Calculate moles of HCl:
