Explain how the heat measured in example 5.5 diffees from enthalpy change for the exothermic reactions described by the following equation:
hcl + naoh ? nacl + h2o
reference example 5.5
heat produced by an exothermic reaction
when 50.0ml of 0.10 m hcl and 50.0 ml of 0.10 m naoh, both at 22.0c are added to a cofee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture reaches a maximum of 28.9 c. what is the approximate amount of heat produced by this reaction
hcl + naoh ? nacl + h2o
