Using your knowledge of thermochemistry, what equation is appropriate to calculate the heat produced from the hcl-naoh reaction?

Neutralization equation:

HCl + NaOH  → NaCl + H₂O + Heat

Heat would calculated through,

Q = m . c. ΔT

Explanation:

When aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react with each other a neutralization reaction occur. It produces water and salt. The salt would be sodium chloride.

Chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH  → NaCl + H₂O + Heat

The heat produces can be calculated through the given formula.

Q = m . c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat produces

m = total mass of solution

ΔT = change in temperature of solution

C = specific heat capacity of solution

As the mostly solutions are water so we take the specific heat capacity of water which is 4.186 j/g .°C

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
