For the heat capacity, should I only calculate reaction of HX and NaOH, disregarding KOH and HCl?

The enthalpy of neutralization of a newly discovered compound, HX, was determined using a styroball calorimeter. The calorimeter was first calibrated using 13.00 mL of 0.104 M HCl and 11.29 mL of 0.125 M KOH (AH = -55.85 kJ/mol) and a temperature rise of 4.6 °C was recorded. Using the same calorimet...
