Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

The enthalpy change of the reaction when sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react can be calculated using the mass of solution, temperature change, and specific heat of water.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as,

$H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ----> Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)$

Given volume of the solution = 101.2 mL + 50.6 mL = 151.8 mL

Heat of the reaction, q = $m C .$ Δ $T$

m is mass of the solution = 151.8 mL * $\frac{1 g}{1 mL} = 151.8 g$

C is the specific heat of solution = 4.18 $\frac{J}{g. ^{0}C}$

ΔT is the temperature change = $31.50^{0}C - 21.45^{0}C = 10.05^{0}C$

q = $151.8 g (4.18 \frac{J}{g ^{0}C})(10.05^{0}C) = 6377 J$

Moles of NaOH = $101.2 mL * \frac{1L}{1000 mL}*\frac{1.00 mol}{L} = 0.1012 mol$ NaOH

Moles of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ = $50.6 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} * \frac{1.0 mol}{1 L} = 0.0506 mol H_{2}SO_{4}$

Enthalpy of the reaction = $\frac{6377 J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}}{0.0506 mol} = 126 kJ/mol$

Answer:

2HClO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(ClO4)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Perchloric acid + Calcium hydroxide → Calcium perchlorate + Water.

Explanation:

This is a neutralization reaction where the acid, Perchloric acid reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, aqueous Calcium hydroxide to produce salt, aqueous Calcium perchlorate and water, liquid H2O only.

During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HClO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Ca(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.

Thus, it is called a neutralization reaction.
