These can be found by measuring the temperature change when solutions of the acid and alkali are mixed. Read all the instructions below carefully before starting the experiments in Question 1. Instructions You are going to carry out seven experiments. P is 1.50 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Q is an aqueous solution of a strong acid. (a) Experiment 1 Place a Styrofoam cup into a 250 cm3 glass beaker. Put P into a burette and measure 40.00 cm 3 of P into the Styrofoam cup. Measure the temperature of P and record the value in the table. Use a measuring cylinder to measure 10.0 cm3 of Q. Pour this volume of Q into the Styrofoam cup containing P. Stir gently, using the thermometer, and measure the highest temperature reached. Record this temperature in the table. Empty the Styrofoam cup and rinse it with deionised water. Experiments 2 to 7 Repeat Experiment 1 but use different volumes of P and Q for each exper
