Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), given that the reaction produces water and sodium chloride as products. The molar enthalpy of formation for water is -285.8 kJ/mol and for NaCl is -411.2 kJ/mol. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
