You place 59.7 ml of 0.605 M NaOH in a coffee- cup calorimeter at 25.00°C and add 76 ml of 0.605 M HCl, also at 25.00°C. After stirring, the final temperature is 27.84°C. [Assume the total volume is the sum of the individual volumes and that the final solution has the same density (1.00 g/ml) and specific heat capacity (4.184 J/gK)]. Calculate the change in enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/mol of water formed. Enter to 1 decimal place. Hint: What does an increase in temperature mean? Enter the correct sign.
