Question

When 150 cm3 of 1.0 M potassium hydroxide solution was added to 250 cm3 of 1.0 M of a strong acid HA, the temperature of the solution increases by 5°C. Calculate the enthalpy of neutralization for this reaction.

[specific heat capacity of solution = 4.18 Jg-1 °C-4, density of solution = 1.0 gcm3]​
