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?

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...

The temperature change observed when 50 mL of 1 M HCl is added to 50 mL of 1 M NaOH would be an increase of approximately 5.6°C.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
