The quantity of heat, q, required to cause a temperature change can be expressed

Question

The quantity of heat, q, required to cause a temperature change can be expressed by the equation:  q = (specific heat) x m x %u0394T

Assume you will have to determine the heat of neutralization for HCl and NaOH, a strong acid/strong base pair.  Available to you are a 1.00 M NaOH and a 1.00 M HCl solution.  

a) Outline a procedure that allows you to measure the heat of neutralization.  Explain in your answer what is meant by heat of neutralization?  (6pts)

b) How will the heat of neutralization you calculated compare to the HNO3/NaOH acid/base pair?  (larger, same, smaller)  Why? (4pts)

c) What are your biggest sources of error in this experiment? (4pts)

d) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between HCl and NaOH.    (4pts)
