Why am I so stupid?

I had a chem coursework task involving enthalpy change and instead of using the 25cm3 of the acid as the mass (in q=mcdeltat equation) I used the difference in mass of the solution calculated after the reaction. I feel like ****, I'm clearly so thick! Goodbye a grade

rant over.
You're meant to use the solution

But I thought you had to use the 25m3 (mass) of the acid as if it were water?
I think I used the same value you used and I think it's the right one because I only dropped one mark in this part of the coursework (assuming this is the OCR AS quantitative task).

So you didn't use the 25cm3? Well done on your mark btw! :smile:

You'll do fine! This caused a bit of confusion between everyone at my school as well, but most people said they used the value that they calculated.
