When 0.0600 mol of HCl(aq) is reacted with 0.0600 mol of NaOH(aq) in 50.0 mL of water, the temperature of the solution increases by 15.1°C. What is the enthalpy of reaction for the following thermochemical equation?
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ® NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Assume that the heat capacity of the solution and calorimeter is 221.3 J/°C.
