The Enthalpy Change When a Strong Acid Is Neutralized by Strong

Multiple Choice

The enthalpy change when a strong acid is neutralized by strong base is -56.1 kJ/mol. If 135 mL of 0.450 M HI at 23.15 ^$\circ$ C is mixed with 145 mL of 0.500 M NaOH, also at 23.15 ^$\circ$ C, what is the maximum temperature reached by the resulting solution (Assume that there is no heat loss to the container, that the specific heat of the final solution is 4.18 J/g· ^$\circ$ C, and that the density of the final solution is that of water.)

B) 26.06 ^$\circ$ C
C) 29.19 ^$\circ$ C
D) 32.35 ^$\circ$ C
E) 36.57 ^$\circ$ C
