You can mix 100.mL of 1.0 M HCl with 100 mL of 1.0 NaOH, both at 25 degree Celcius. The temperature of your calorimeter rises by 5.98 degree C, and its heat capacity is 100 J/degre C. How much energy is released per mol of H2O formed?

My answer: 6x10^6 J per mol H2O

1 answer

Ok, you will make .1 mole of H2O

you have 200ml of water heating 5.99C

Heat released=mass*c*deltaTemp
=200*100J/C*5.98C

heat released per mole
= heatreleased/.1 J/mole

Unless I made an error, your answer is wrong.
