HELP!!!!!

Hi,

I'm doing a lab for chemistry, and I need to know the specific heat of NaOH and HCl, i've searched online for hours and its not in my book, and no one in my class knows it either. Maybe one of you guys have it in a book or something, this will save like 10 kids from failing the lab ..

thanks in advance

Kevin

what did you guys do in lab, is there anyway to get the specific heat from what the expieriment was? ... you know the equation for SH right?

EDIT: i can always call my sis, she's a chem grad.

Find a CRC handbook. If it's known to mankind, it'll be in there.

we are doing thermodynamics, and our book's table of specific heats doesn't ahve it, and the lab was about finding the amount of heat was put out by the reaction of NaOH and HCl, and we need the specific heat for some of the questions, and of course its due first period tommarrow so I can't even do it tommarrow after asking the teacher.

any other information? do you not know the formula or do you just need the answer?

Wow.. I remember doing Specific Heat crap last year in Grade 9...

Agghh!! The formula is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it :|

Joules/g x C

Try this:

http://www.piona.com/tech/data/naoh/SPECIFIC%20HEAT.pdf

That might help with NaOH at least. That was linked on the first google result for "specific heat of naoh"

Less than one minute of searching

However, the whole point of the experiment is to use the data you collected to calculate the specific heats.

yeah doing this kinda defeats the purpose of a lab

NIST Chemistry Webbook has what you need, however maybe you are supposed to determine the specific heat with the data you gathered in the lab?

naw, the point of the lab is about heats of formation & heats of dissolution, but in order to find those we need the specific heats of the the HCl & NaOH. thanks for that link, i got what i needed from there. thanks again, saved my ass and like 10 other people in the class
