Paragraph
When 100 mL of 1.0 M KCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of 5.7o C was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is constant (-57.0 kJ/mol), this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. 2) 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (Ka = 2.0 $$\times$$ 10-5) was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of 5.6o C was measured.
