if I am doing a reaction of acids and bases, do i just use the specific heat capacity of 4.18J, or is there a different one for different solutions?!?

SUMMARY
The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g·K, which is applicable for dilute acid and base solutions during reactions. For most practical purposes, this value can be used unless the solution is concentrated or contains significant amounts of solutes that alter its thermal properties. In such cases, the specific heat capacity may differ from that of pure water.
