A lab experiment dealing with the properties of a coffee cup calorimeter was completed. One of the procedures involved measuring the temperature of 50mL water placed in a calorimeter for 3 minutes, and then adding NaOH(s) pellets and measuring the temperature for 4 more minutes. I have several temperature measurements, but I am not sure how to use that data to calculate "heat gained by solution," "heat gained by calorimeter," "total heat of reaction," or "heat of solution per mole." Please see the attached file to view my data, but I am mainly interested in how I would go about filling out the "Data/Calculation" chart at the bottom of the page.
