5.1 - Determination of the Heat of Reaction of Hydrochloric Acid with Sodium Hydroxide (Leaving Cert Chemistry): Flashcards

$1$ M $HCl$ and $1$ M $NaOH$

$q = mc\Delta T$

Exothermic

$50$ cm³

Excellent insulator, minimises heat loss

Reduce heat loss to surroundings

$6$°C

$0.05$ mol

$4.2$ J/g°C

$100$ g

$-50.4$ kJ/mol

Exothermic; releases heat to surroundings

Heat mainly from $H^+$ + $OH^-$ reaction (same for all)

Both at same temperature
