Question

50mL of 1 mole of HCI was added to 50mL of 1 mole NaOH. What temperature change would be noticed?

Answer 1

Would not the temperature of the reaction vessel markedly increase?

Explanation:

You perform a neutralization reaction with the formation of water, and `NaCl(aq)`...

`NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) rarr NaCl(aq) + H_2O(l)`...

Given some extra data, we could calculate the heat associated with the formation of `0.05*mol` of `NaCl(aq)`...of course you have not really specified the concentration of the acid or hydroxide solutions...
