You place 30.00 mL of 5.00 M potassium hydroxide into a coffee cup calorimeter at 50°C. You then add 25.00 mL of 5.00 M nitric acid that is also 50°C into the same coffee cup calorimeter. Assume that the total volume is the sum of the individual volumes and that the final solution has the same density (equal to 1 g/mL) and specific heat capacity is that of pure water. The final temperature of the product solution is equal to 91.76 °C.
Calculate the change in enthalpy, ΔH, of this reaction using the limiting reactant from the previous question. (Nitric Acid)
