Question

When 60.0 mL of a 0.400 M solution of HNO3 (aq) is combined with 60.0 mL of a 0.400 M solution of NaOH(aq) in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the final temperature of the solution is measured to be 26.6 ˚C. The initial temperature of the solutions is 24.0 ˚C. Calculate qrxn in joules, assuming the specific heat capacity of the final solution is 3.90 J·g–1·˚C–1, the density of the final solution is 1.04 g/mL, and the calorimeter constant is 45 J/oC.  (Hint: start with qrxn + qsoln + qcal = 0.)

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

HNO3 (aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaNO3 (aq)
