In order to calculate the heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, the mass of the water must be determined. It will be calculated from the volumes of HCl and NaOH and the density of water, 1.00 g/mL. You should approximate that the density of the NaOH and HCl mixture is equal to the density of water. For each trial, calculate the mass of water in the calorimeter. Report your values to 3 significant figures.

According to arrhenius theory of acid and bases, an acid is a proton donor, while base donates hydroxyl ions. further, acid and base reacts to form salt and water.consider following example.hcl    +      h2o          →      cl-          +      h3o+here, hcl has donated a proton, hence it is an acid.now consider following reactionhcl      +      naoh            ↔      nacl      +        h2oin this reaction, hcl donates proton, hence it is acid. on other hand, naoh donates hydroxyl ion (i.e. hence it is a base.
