The standard enthalpy change for the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid  HCl  and sodium hydroxide  NaOH  at 25 can be found using the heat of formation values for the reactants and products.H =  Hf  products  -  Hf  reactants For the given reaction:HCl  aq  + NaOH  aq   NaCl  aq  + H2O  l The standard enthalpy of formation  Hf  values at 25 are as follows:HCl  aq : -167.2 kJ/molNaOH  aq : -469.15 kJ/molNaCl  aq : -407.27 kJ/molH2O  l : -285.83 kJ/molNow, we can calculate the standard enthalpy change  H  for the reaction:H = [ -407.27 kJ/mol  +  -285.83 kJ/mol ] - [ -167.2 kJ/mol  +  -469.15 kJ/mol ]H =  -693.1 kJ/mol  -  -636.35 kJ/mol H = -56.75 kJ/molTherefore, the standard enthalpy change for the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide at 25 is -56.75 kJ/mol.
