### Calculating Enthalpy Change for a Neutralization Reaction

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 120.0 mL of 1.4 M NaOH and 120.0 mL of 1.4 M HCl are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 25.7°C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 31.0°C. Assuming that the solutions have a density of 1.06 g/mL and a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/g∙°C, calculate the enthalpy change for the neutralization of HCl by NaOH. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings or to the calorimeter.

\[ \Delta H = \frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}} \]

**Steps to Calculate Enthalpy Change (∆H):**

1. **Measure Initial and Final Temperatures**:
    - Initial Temperature (Ti) = 25.7°C
    - Final Temperature (Tf) = 31.0°C

2. **Calculate the Total Volume of Solution**:
    - Volume of NaOH solution = 120.0 mL
    - Volume of HCl solution = 120.0 mL
    - Total Volume = 120.0 mL + 120.0 mL = 240.0 mL

3. **Determine the Total Mass of the Solution**:
    - Density of solution = 1.06 g/mL
    - Total Mass (m) = Total Volume * Density
                   = 240.0 mL * 1.06 g/mL
                   = 254.4 g

4. **Find the Temperature Change (∆T)**:
    - ∆T = Tf - Ti
          = 31.0°C - 25.7°C
          = 5.3°C

5. **Calculate the Heat Absorbed or Released (q)**:
    - Specific Heat Capacity (c) = 4.18 J/g∙°C
    - q = m * c * ∆T
       = 254.4 g * 4.18 J/g∙°C * 5.3°C
       = 5633.94 J (or 5.634 kJ)

6. **Determine the Moles of Reactants**:
    - Volume of NaOH solution = 120.0
