Sodium Hydroxide Specific Heat Capacity

Equal volumes, 50.0 mL, of 3.0 M hydrochloric acid and 3.0 M sodium hydroxide solutions having an initial temperature of 20.0°C react in a calorimeter. The resultant solution records a temperature of 40.0°C. The heat gained by the resultant solution can be calculated using. Specific Heat capacity of sodium hydroxide at 25°C: 28.230 J mol −1 K −1.

Heating Energy

The energy required to heat a product can be calculated as

q = cp m dt (1)

where

q = heat required (kJ)

cp = specific heat (kJ/kg K, kJ/kg oC)

dt = temperature difference (K, oC)

Example - Required Heat to increase Temperature i Water

10 kg of water is heated from 20 oC to 100 oC - a temperature difference 80 oC (K). The heat required can be calculated as

q = (4.19 kJ/kg K) (10 kg) (80 oC)

= 3352 kJ
