When a solution which is having 100ml of an acid, HA and 100ml of the solution of a base, BOH, are mixed in a calorimeter, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 10.5 J/Co and the temperature increases from 21.7 o C to35.8o C.
1. Explain did the solution absorb or give up heat energy?
2. Discuss was the reaction among the base endothermic or exothermic and the acid?
3. Determine the numbers of calories of heat were evolved in the chemical reaction?
