  1. I really wish we could have figured out what happened in reaction 3. If done correctly, it should not have given no change in temperature. by any chance did you add water to the last reaction? Overall, all your calculations look fine.

  2. I had the same lab and for us we used 50mL 1.0 HCl instead of water for the final portion and used 50mL 1.0 NaOH. Maybe it is becuase you used water. but the most probable reason is because NaOH reacts with moisture in the air and if you leave it out long enough it can become affected and mess with your results. Hope this helped lol
