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°C is mixed with 145 mL of 0.500 M NaOH, also at 23.15°C, what will 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·°C, and that the density of the final solution is that of water.)

A) 26.06°C
B) 29.19°C
C) 32.35°C
D) 20.24°C
E) 36.57°C
