When100mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temerature increase of 0.7^(@)C was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1 ) . Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (-57.0 kJ "mol"^(-1)), the experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. Ina second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (K_(a)=2.0xx10^(-5)) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH . (under identical conditions of Expt.1) where hte temperature rise of 5.6^(@)C was measured. (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 Jg^(-1) K^(-1) and density of all solutions as 1.0 m mL^(-1)) The pH of the solution after Expt. 2 is |
