100 mL of 0.2 N HNO3 at 25oC was mixed with 100 mL of 0.2 N NaOH for neutrilization at the same temperature. The final temperature was recorded to be 26.37oC. Calculate the heat of neutrilization (in~kcal) of HNO3 with NaOH.

Solution
Q=msΔt=mass of sol. (due toH2O)×sp. heat (ofH2O)×1.37 =200×1×1.37=274cal. Meq of acid = Meq of base =100×0.2=20
Heat of neutrilization =Q×100020=274×100020=13.7kcal
