Calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction where 0.25 mol of hydrochloric acid is neutralized by sodium hydroxide, given that ΔH_neut° is -57.3 kJ/mol.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between moles and ΔH_neut°.
Discuss how the temperature of the solution might change if a weak acid is used instead of a strong acid. What implications does this have for the enthalpy change?
💡 Hint: Remember the differences between strong and weak acids!
