When 50.0 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid and 50.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium hydroxide react, the temperature rises 6.7oC. Use the total solution volume, density of water, and specific heat of water to calculate the heat absorbed by the solution, qsoln, during this reaction.
a. Calculate the amount of heat released, qrxn, by this acid-base reaction.
b. Calculate the moles of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion initially present, and the moles of water produced in this reaction.
