When 50.0 mL of water containing 0.50 mol HCl at 22.5°C is mixed with 50.0 mL of water containing 0.50 mol NaOH at 22.5°C in a calorimeter, the temperature of the solution increases to 26.0°C. How much heat (in kJ) is released by this reaction? The density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and the heat capacity is 4.18 J/(g°C). (3 sig figs, kJ)

Given:
total volume of water = 50ml+50ml = 100ml
Initial temperature = 22.5°C
final temperature = 26.0°C
density of water = 1 g/ml
heat capacity(C) = 4.18J/(g°C)
To Find:
heat (in kJ) is released by this reaction = q =?
Solution:
now, we know the expression to calculate the heat,
q = m × C × ΔT
from total volume of water = 50ml+50ml = 100ml and density of water = 1 g/ml, we can calculate mass of water as shown below.
density = mass/volume
mass = density × volume = 1 × 100 = 100g
similarly, ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 26 - 22.5 = 3.5°C
and heat capacity(C) = 4.18J/(g°C) is given
now, on putting values in the above equation.
q = m × C × ΔT
q = 100 × 3.5°C × 4.18 = 1463 J = 1.46 kJ
Hence, 1.46kJ heat is released by this reaction.
