Question
200 ml of 1M HCl is mixed with 400 ml of 0.5M NaOH. The temperature rise in the calorimeter was found to be 4.0oC. Water equivalent of calorimeter is 25g and the specific heat of the solution is 1 cal/mL/degree. If the theoritical heat of neutralization of a strong acid and strong base is −13.5 kcal, then the percentage error (as nearest integer) incurred in this experiment while calculating the heat of neutralization is
