The specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity.

We can categorize a property of the compound as either intensive or extensive when defining a particular aspect of it. The extent of a drug or compound is a quality that is influenced by the sample size used. However, the intense property is independent of the quantity (we can say that it is independent on the amount of the sample used). One such example of an intensive property is density.

The specific heat capacity of a substance or a compound describes the amount of heat (in Joules) needed to increase the temperature of one gram of the substance by 1 unit.

The specific heat capacity is independent on the amount of substance used, therefore, it is classified as an intensive property of a substance. The specific heat capacity will not depend on the mass of the given substance and it will be a constant value for each substance.

So the specific heat capacity is intensive, and does not depend on the quantity, but the heat capacity is extensive, so two grams of liquid water have twice the heat capacitance of 1 gram, but the specific heat capacity, the heat capacity per gram, is the same, 4.184 (J/g.K).

When a chemical reaction is run in aqueous solution inside a calorimeter, the temperature change of the water (and Ccal) can be
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Reaction;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Where initial temperature is 21.2 °C and final temperature is 28.0 °C. Ccal is 1234.28 J

Moles of NaOH  = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

Moles of HCl = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

so, 0.0500 moles of H₂O produced

Volume of solution = 50.mL  +  50.mL  = 100.0 mL

Mass of solution m = volume × density = 100.0mL × 1.0 g/mL = 100 g

now ,

Heat energy of Solution q= (mass × specific heat capacity × temp Δ) + Cal

we know that; The specific heat of water(H₂O) is 4.18 J/g°C.

so we substitute

q_soln = (100g × 4.18 × ( 28.0 °C - 21.2 °C) ) + 1234.28

q_soln = 2842.4 + 1234.28

q_soln = 4076.68 J

Enthalpy change for the neutralization is ΔH_{neutralization}

ΔH_{neutralization} = -q_soln / mole of water produced

so we substitute

ΔH_{neutralization} = -( 4076.68 J ) / 0.0500 mol  

ΔH_{neutralization} = - 81533.6 J/mol

Therefore, the total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol
