Enthalpy change on neut

Im making this up:

Neutralization reaction with HCl and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.

HCL + NaHCO3 ==== NaCL + CO2 + H2O

33.3ml of 3M HCL neutralised by 8.4g of NaHCO3

EndoThermic Reaction: Delta Temp was 8.3C

Finding heat loss/ gain: q=mcdeltaT

I jsut wondered, if it was endothermic would i need to put -8.3C as temp dropped from 24.3 to 16

And also for the mass, is it of both the solutions?


Thanks.
