This reaction was an exothermic process as it yielded a heat change of ∆H= -1316.700J. The final reading of the thermometer displayed an increase of temperature from its initial temperature which is an indication of heat being released as in an exothermic process. The molar enthalpy change was calculated to be -65.835Kj/mole while the theoretical calculation is -55.800Kj/mole. The information yielded a percent error of 17.984% which can be explained by a possible inaccurate reading of the thermometer to the tenth place
