When 25.0 mL of 1.00 M HCl (0.025 mol)is mixed with exactly 25.0 mL of NaOH (0.025 mol) in a calorimeter, the temperature of the solution increased from 25.00 °C to 27.30 °C.
(a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
(b) If the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/ g·°C, density = 1.0 g/mL, what is:
