Measure the volume and concentration of the acid and base used
Calculate the number of moles of acid and base
Identify the limiting reactant
Determine the moles of water formed
Measure the initial temperature of the acid and base solutions
Mix the solutions in a calorimeter
Measure the final temperature of the mixture
Calculate the temperature change, ΔT
Calculate the mass of the solution
Use the formula q = mcΔT to find the heat released
Convert heat to kJ
Calculate enthalpy of neutralisation using ΔH = -q / moles of water formed
Express the answer in kJ mol⁻¹
