When 50.0 mL of 1.0 mol/L hydrochloric acid is neutralized completely by 75.0 mL of 1.0 mol/L sodium hydroxide in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of the total solution changes from 20.2 to 25.6. Determine the quantity of energy transferred, q, and state whether the reaction was endothermic or exothermic.
