Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the following balanced equation:

Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)→ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g)Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)→ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g)

When 0.122 gg of Zn(s)Zn(s) is combined with enough HClHCl to make 50.9 mLmL of solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter, all of the zinc reacts, raising the temperature of the solution from 21.5 ∘C∘C to 24.2 ∘C∘C.

Find ΔHrxnΔHrxn for this reaction as written. (Use 1.00 g/mLg/mL  for the density of the solution and 4.18 J/(g⋅∘C)J/(g⋅∘C) as the specific heat capacity.)
Express your answer in kilojoules per mole to two significant figures.
